- Two objects, both with a mass of 1.91 kg are sliding across a horizontal, frictionless surface toward each other. If mass 1 has an initial velocity of 3.5 m/s i and mass 2 has an initial velocity of -2.46 m/s i, what is the change in total kinetic energy if they undergo a perfectly inelastic collision? Assume that total momentum is conserved.arrow_forwardTwo boxes make a perfectly elastic collision on a horizontal frictionless surface as shown in the figure.
