The change in energy after the collision is <u>0.5</u>
<u />
<h3>What is change in energy?</h3>
This refers to the difference in the energy where energy is the capacity to do work. There different forms of energy they include mechanical energy, solar energy, electrical energy and so on.
The energy described in the problem is mechanical energy and it is of two types kinetic energy and potential energy
<h3>solving for the change in energy as a result of the collision</h3>
where mass of particle mp = 4 kg
mass of object mb = 6 kg
force constant of spring k = 100 N/m
amplitude A = 2 m
kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2
initial velocity u = Aω
ω = sqrt ( 100/ 4 )
u = 2 sqrt ( 100/ 4 )
u = 10m/s
final velocity v = 5 m/s
change in energy
= - 0.5 * ( 4 + 4 ) * 5^2 + 0.5 * 4 * 10^2 ) / 0.5 * 4 * 10^2
= 0.5
