The formula to calculate Kinetic Energy of System after Inelastic Collision (Ek) is:
\[ Ek = \frac{(m_1 + m_2) \cdot v^2}{2} \]
Where:
Kinetic Energy of system after inelastic collision is the sum of the kinetic energies of all the particles in the system.
Mass of body A is the measure of the quantity of matter that a body or an object contains.
Mass of body B is the measure of the quantity of matter that a body or an object contains.
Final Speed of A and B after inelastic collision is the last velocity of a given object after a period of time.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ Ek = \frac{(m_1 + m_2) \cdot v^2}{2} \]
Evaluating:
\[ Ek = \frac{(30 + 13) \cdot 21^2}{2} \]
The Kinetic Energy of System after Inelastic Collision is 9481.5 Joules.
