Objects A and B each have a mass of 25 kilograms. Object A has a velocity of 5.98 meters/second. Object B is stationary. They undergo a perfectly elastic collision in one dimension. What is the total kinetic energy of the system after the collision?

A.) 1.2 x 10^2 J

B.) 4.5 * 10^2 joules

C. 5.0 * 10^2 joules

D. 9.5 * 10^2 joules

E. 1.1 * 10^3 joules

There are numerous information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.

Mass of the objects = 25 kg

Velocity of object A = 5.98 m/s

Velocity of object B = 0 m/s

Total kinetic energy = (1/2) * mass * (velocity) ^2

= 0.5 * 25 * (5.98) ^2

= 4.5 * 10^2 joules.

From the above deduction, we can conclude that the correct option among all the options that are given is option "B".
