Problem 69GP
A 50 g ball of clay traveling at speed vi hits and sticks to a 1.0 kg block sitting at rest on a frictionless surface.
a. What is the speed of the block after the collision?
b. Show that the mechanical energy is not conserved in this collision. What percentage of the ball’s initial kinetic energy is “lost”? Where did this kinetic energy go?
