Consider a perfectly inelastic collision, where two objects collide with each other, and stick together. The net external force on the system is 0.

  • m1 = 2 kg
  • m2 = 3 kg
  • v01 = 5 m/s
  • v02 = -4 m/s

a) What is their final velocity, after the collision, in m/s? Make sure you get the correct sign.

b) How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision, in Joules?
