Decrease in kinetic energy during the collision problem


A 2190 kg car moving east at 10.4 m/s collides with a 3170 kg car moving east. The cars stick together and move east as a unit after the collision at a velocity of 5.94 m/s.

a) What is the velocity of the 3170 kg car before the collision? Answer in units of m/s

b) What is the decrease in kinetic energy during the collision?
