Two masses (marbles, clay, or kittens, whichever) 18 kg and 29 kg collide while traveling toward each other at 6 m/s each. If collision were elastic, the total kinetic energy before and after the collision would be the same. Compare the total kinetic energy before and after the collision if it were completely inelastic instead. How much is lost?

One object is moving and one object is at rest. The two objects then collide in a dimensional, completely inelastic collision. So the two objects stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum of the two-object system is conserved. The masses of the two objects are 5.00 kg and 8.50 kg, respectively. The speed of the moving object masses 5.00 kg before the collision is 22.5 m/sec. Find the final speed of the two-object system...
Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piece having mass 300 g is moving to the right at a speed of 1 m/s. The other piece has mass 600 g and is moving to the left at a speed of 0.75 m/s. a) Use momentum conservation to determine the velocity of the combined clay piece after they collide. (Note: you can treat this as a...
