A piece of putty of mass m = 0.75 kg and velocity v = 2.5 m/s moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. It collides with and sticks to a rod of mass M = 2 kg and length L = 0.9 m which pivots about a fixed vertical axis at the opposite end of the rod as shown. What fration of the initial kinetic energy of the putty is lost in this collision?
KElost/KEinitial =
