Answer: Friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy.
Explanation: Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. Rougher surfaces have more friction between them. Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.
Hi there!
This collision is an example of an inelastic collision since kinetic energy is lost from the collision.
We can represent this using the conservation of momentum formula:
m1v1 + m2v1 = m1vf + m2vf
Where:
m1 = blue ball
m2 = green ball
We know that the final velocity of the blue ball is 0, so:
m1v1 + m2v1 = m2vf
Rearrange to solve for the speed of the green ball:
(m1v1 + m2v1)/m2 = vf
Plug in given values:
((0.15 · 3) + (0.15 · 2)) / 0.15 = 5 m/s
The spring potential energy is 1.6 J
Explanation:
The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by the equation:

where
U is the potential energy
k is the spring constant
x is the compression/stretching of the spring
For the spring in this problem, we have:
x = 40 cm = 0.40 m is the stretching
k = 20 N/m is the spring constant
Substituting into the equation, we can find the spring potential energy:
