Considering conservation of momentum;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3

In which,
m1 = mass of snowball 1 = 0.4 kg
v1 = velocity of snowball 1 = 15 m/s
m2 = mass of snowball 2 = 0.6 kg
v2 = velocity of snow ball 2 = 15 m/s
m3 = combined mass = 1 kg
v3 = velocity after comination
Therefore;
0.4*15 + 0.6*15 = 1*v3
v3 = 6+9 = 15 m/s
KE = 1/2mv^2

Then,
KE1 = 1/2*0.4*15^2 = 45 J
KE2 = 1/2*0.6*15^2 = 67.5 J
KE3 = 1/2*1*15^2 = 112.5 J

Therefore, KE3 (kinetic energy after collision) = K1+K2 {kinetic energy before collision). And thus it is 100%.

How are velocity and displacement related?
Keith_Richards [23]

Velocity is the rate at which displacement changes with time. It is a vector, too. The average velocity over some interval is the total displacement during that interval, divided by the time. ... Speed is a scalar, which describes the total distance travelled by some object during some time interval. Plze mark me brainiest

Mila [183]
We’ve all noticed that science has been accelerating and a very fast rate resulting in what has been called information overload and more recently filter failure. There are now more researchers add more papers than ever which has led to the importance of bibliometric measures Bibliometric as a Field is a fairly new discipline but it has seen in impressive growth in years due to computation and data storage. Journal metrics can play an important role for editors. There are many different metrics
