Question
A 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s collides with a 4 kg object that is
stationary. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the speed of the
2 kg object after the collision? and how much is KE lost?
A) No answer
B
speed = 1.5 m/s and KE lost = 12)
c) speed = 1 m/s and KE lost = 6J
D speed = -1 m/s and KE lost = 3J
E speed = -0.5 m/s and KE lost = 9J
