The masses are m1 = m, with initial velocity 2v0, and m2 = 7.4m, with initial velocity v0. due to the collision, they stick together, forming a compound system. if m = 0.66 kg and v0 = 6 m/s, find the magnitude of the loss in kinetic energy after the collision. answer in units of j.

Loss,

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of particle 1,

Mass of particle 2,

Speed of particle 1,

Speed of particle 2,

To find,

The magnitude of the loss in kinetic energy after the collision.

Solve,

Two particles stick together in case of inelastic collision. Due to this, some of the kinetic energy gets lost.

Applying the conservation of momentum to find the speed of two particles after the collision.

V = 6.71 m/s

Initial kinetic energy before the collision,

Final kinetic energy after the collision,

Lost in kinetic energy,

Therefore, the magnitude of the loss in kinetic energy after the collision is 10.63 Joules.

the answer is a. the yacht traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

im doing peak rn so sry if its wrong
