A 2.0-kg object moving with a velocity of 5.0 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 3.0-kg object moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s in the same direction. How much kinetic energy is lost in this collision

5.4 J.

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the object, m = 2 Kg

initial speed, u = 5 m/s

mass of another object,m' = 3 kg

initial speed of another orbit,u' = 2 m/s

KE lost after collusion = ?

Final velocity of the system

Using conservation of momentum

m u + m'u' = (m + m') V

2 x 5 + 3 x 2 = ( 2 + 3 )V

16 = 5 V

V = 3.2 m/s

Initial KE =

              =

              = 31 J

Final KE =

Loss in KE = 31 J - 25.6 J = 5.4 J.

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
