2015 F = ma Exam — Question 10

The following information applies to questions 9 and 10 A 0.650 kg ball moving at 5.00 m/s collides with a 0.750 kg ball that is originally at rest. After the collision, the 0.750 kg ball moves offwith a speed of 4.00 m/s, and the 0.650 kg ball moves off at a right angle to the final direction of motion of the 0.750 kg ball. 10. Let the change in total kinetic energy in this collision be defined by ∆K = Kf −Ki, where Kf is the total final kinetic energy, and Ki is the total initial kinetic energy. Which of the following is true?
