Question:
Two bodies of the same mass collide completely inelastically (they continue to travel as one body).
a) Calculate what happens to the mechanical energy when one of the bodies was at rest before the collision.
b) In which situation can mechanical energy be conserved?
c) In which situation is mechanical energy "lost" the most? What is it "consumed" on?
HINT: conservation of momentum.
