: A 2 kg object moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s collides with a 1 kg object at rest. The two objects have Velcro on them, so they stick together after the collision and continue as a combined unit moving in the same direction as the original moving object. With what speed does the combined object move

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
