10PRACTICE PROBLEM
Kids find it fun playing on frozen (frictionless) lakes. A 16.8 kg kid is sliding at 3.60 m/s left towards a playing partner of mass 14.5 kg who is sliding to the right at 3.20 m/s. They hold onto each other when they meet during the collision. Determine the loss in mechanical energy during the interaction.
