It asks me 1. to Determine the velocity of the 0.30 kg puck after the collision. Which i got, the answer is 1.02 m/s However when it asks me to Find the fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision. so basically i did .5(M1)(V1)^2 subtract .5(m2)(v2)^2.......... it was wrong.. I dunno what to do... I tried doing ((.5(.2m/s)(1.9m/s)^2)) - ((.5)(.3)(1.02)^2)) = .205..... and my answer was wrong... I dunno how to find the kinetic energy lost..    | ||

but you forgot to include the kinetic energy of the 0.2kg puck when you did you calculation for the total kinetic energy afterwards. Kinetic energy afterwards = (0.5 x 0.3 x (1.02)^2) + (0.5 x 0.2 x (0.9)^2) so Kinetic Energy lost is Total KE before - Total KE after ill let you do the rest..... Hope i helped | ||

The wording for the second part is a bit ambiguous but I think they want you to do... (Ebefore-Eafter)/Ebefore If that doesn't work then just try the difference like you were before | ||

Hope i helped EDIT: yeah i got 1.37 for speed of 0.3 puck also this worked thanks | ||

Now it asked me what the velocity of the truck was after the collision and i got 20.37m/s north The it asked me to calculate the loss in kinetic energy during the collision... the answer i got was wrong...???? | ||

I didn't round off too accurately so I might be a little out | ||
