Question: A Completely inelastic collision is a collision where two objects stick together after collision. Both objects will have the same speed after collision: v 1

A Completely inelastic collision is a collision where two objects stick together after collision. Both objects will have the same speed after collision: v1f = v2f = V.(20 points)
(a) A 7 kg object moving to the right with a speed of 8 ms-1 collides with a 3 kg object moving to the left with a speed of 5 ms-1 If the collision is completely inelastic.
(i) Calculate their speed after the collision.
(ii) Calculate the kinetic energy lost during the collision.
(b) A bullet of mass 0.05 kg is fired into a pendulum of mass 10 kg. The bullet is embedded in the pendulum and the pendulum rises to a height of 2 m. Calculate the speed of the bullet.
