A 9 kg blob moving at 5 m/s collides and sticks to a second blob with a mass of 5 kg. If the two bobs stick together, what will the velocity of the two blobs move at?

Answer:

the final velocity of the two blobs after collision is 3.21 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of first blob, m₁ = 9 kg

mass of the second blob, m₂ = 5 kg

initial velocity of the first blob, u₁ = 5 m/s

initial velocity of the second blob, u₂ = 0

Let the final velocity of the two blobs after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation linear momentum to determine v;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

9 x 5   +    5 x 0 = v(9 + 5)

45 = 14v

v = 45 / 14

v = 3.21 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the two blobs after collision is 3.21 m/s.
