A clay ball with a mass of 0.48kg has an initial speed of 4.08m/s it strikes a 3.04kg clay ball at rest and the two balls stick together and remain stationary. What is the decrease in kinetic energy of the 0.48kg ball

    Final velocity = 0, thus final kinetic energy is 0

    Initial kinetic energy:

    0.5mv²

    = 0.5 x 0.48 x 4.08²

    = 4.0 J

    Decrease in kinetic energy = 4 - 0 = 4 Joules
