<h2>Answer</h2>

1m/s

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given that:

<em>Mass of first blob = 2kg = m1</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 4m/s = v1</em>

<em>Mass of second blob = 6kg = m2</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 0m/s = v2</em>

<em />

To find:

<em>Final velocity = Vf</em>

<em />

<em>This question is of inelastic collision which is any collision between objects in which some energy is lost.</em>

<em />

<h3>Formula to be use:</h3><h2>(m1*v1) + (m2*V2) = Vf(m1 + m2)</h2>

(2*4) + (6*0) = Vf(2+6)

8 + 0 = Vf(8)

8 = Vf(8)

Vf = 1 m/s

So the speed of two blobs immediately after colliding = 1 m/s
