A block of mass 0.50 kg is moving with a speed of 2.00 m/s on a smooth surface. It strikes another mass of 1.00 kg and then they move together as a single body. The energy loss during the collision is

  • 0.16 J

  • 1.00 J

  • 0.67 J

  • 0.34 J

Solution

C.

0.67 J

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v
v = 2/3 m/s
