Object A has of mass 7.20 kilograms, and object B has a mass of 5.75 kilograms. The two objects move along a straight line towar

d each other with velocities +2.00 meters/second and -1.30 meters/second respectively. What is the total kinetic energy of the objects after the collision, if the collision is perfectly elastic?

Two things:
1) All collisions conserve momentum
2) Elastic collisions also conserve kinetic energy.

So basically the kinetic energy before the collision is the same as the kinetic energy after the collision.

KE = ½mv²

For object A:
KE = ½(7.20 kg)(2.00 m/s)² = 14.4 J

For object B:
KE = ½(5.75 kg)(-1.30 m/s)² = 4.86 J

total kinetic energy = 14.4 J + 4.86 J = 19.3 J

The equation for Kinetic Energy in an Elastic Collision is this:
1/2(m₁v₁) + 1/2(m₂v₂) = 1/2(7.20kg)(2.00m/s) + 1/2(5.75kg)(-1.30m/s) =
3.4625m/s

I think....technically the equation above equates to the same thing except measuring the final velocity of the given masses, however you were not given that in the equation, making the first half of the full equation the only viable solution.

lara31 [8.8K]
The granite would be older. As millions of years go by, rocks are affected by weathering and erosion. These processes break down rocks and scatter them. Rocks are broken down into sediments, which mix with other layers, which could have been the reason how the layer of sandstone contains the small fragments of granite.

When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion? *
Ganezh [65]
+1 An electron has a negative charge so losing a charge of -1 from an uncharged, or neutral, atom will leave an ion with a positive charge.
