A greater fraction of kinetic energy is lost from the system during the collision when the speed of the first cart is greater due to inelastic collision.
<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
It should be noted that kinetic energy simply means a form of energy of an object due to motion.
In this case, a greater fraction of kineticenergy is lost from the system during the collision when the speed of the first cart is greater due to inelastic collision.
Geologists use the following tests to distinguish minerals and the rocks they make: hardness, color, streak, luster, cleavage and chemical reaction. A scratch test developed by a German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs in 1822 is used to determine mineral hardness.
