A 1.00 kg object moving in the + x direction at 10.0 m/s collides with a 1.50 kg object traveling at 5.00 m/s in the - x direction. After the collision, the 1.00 kg object moves with a velocity of 4.00 m/s in the - x direction. How much kinetic energy was lost during the collision?

The amount of kinetic energy lost during the collision is 60.75 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the object moving in the +x direction, m₁ = 1.00 kg

The velocity of the object moving in the +x direction, v₁ = 10.0 m/s

The mass of the object moving in the -x direction, m₂ = 1.50 kg

The velocity of the object moving in the +x direction, v₂ = 5.00 m/s

The final velocity of the 1.00 kg mass after collision, v₃ = 4.00 m/s

The direction of motion of the 1.00 kg mass after collision = -x direction

The total initial kinetic energy of the system, = 1/2·m₁·v₁² + 1/2·m₂·v₂²

∴  = 1/2×1.00×10² + 1/2×1.50×5² = 68.75 J

The final kinetic energy of the system,  = 1/2·m₁·v₃²

= 1/2×1.00×4² = 8 J

The amount of kinetic energy lost during the collision, is given as follows;

=   - = 8 J - 68.75 J = -60.75 J

The amount of kinetic energy lost during the collision = 60.75 J.

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
