A 2.1 kg object is moving due East at 32 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal sufrace. When the first object strikes a second, stationary 3.6 kg object, the 2.1 kg object rebounds at 8.0 m/s in a direction 29 degrees north of west. What percentage of the original kinetic energy of the system is converted into other forms of energy during the collision?
