Question
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
