G A 48.7 g clay, moving at 9.8 m/s, crashes into 1.1 kg brick that is sitting at rest on a frictionless surface. After the collision, the clay is stuck to the brick. This is an inelastic collision, where some kinetic energy (for the system of both masses) is lost. How much kinetic energy is lost (so your answer will be negative!)

-2.2394181 J amount of kinetic energy is lost.

Explanation:

Let Vf be the final speed

(48.7) (9.8) = (48.7 + 1100) Vf

477.26 = 1148.7 Vf

=>   Vf = 0.4155 m/s

KE initiali = 1/2 (0.0487) (9.8)²

KE initial = 1/2 (0.0487) (96.04)

KE initial = 1/2 (4.677148)

KE initial = 2.338574 J

KE final = 1/2 (1.1 + 0.0487) (0.4155)²

KE final = 1/2 (1.1487‬) (0.17264025)

KE final = 1/2 (0.198311855175)

KE final = 0.0991559 J

KE (lost) = KEf - KEi

             = 0.0991559 J - 2.338574 J

             = -2.2394181 J

we have been given a quadratic function and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

we know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

further, we know that range of this function is .

if we restrict the domain of this function to either or , it will become one to one function.

let us know find its inverse.

upon interchanging x and y, we get:

let us now solve this function for y.

hence, the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain of original function to and the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain to .
