Let the total kinetic energy of the two sleds before the collision and the total kinetic energy after the collision be K

[answerhappygod]

Let the total kinetic energy of the two sleds before thecollision and the total kinetic energy after the collisionbe Ki and Kf,respectively. Find the fraction (not percentage) of the initialkinetic energy that survives the collision as kineticenergy.
Kf/Ki =

Collisions in One Dimension (v1) In this lab, we will study collisions between two sleds on a nearly frictionless air track. • The frame rate (number of frames per second) is shown in the remote control. • Notice the rubber bands, held between metal fingers, at each end of the air track. (They are there to bounce back the sleds before they reach the ends of the track.) The distance between the inner sides of these rubber bands is 2.00 m. • The mass of sled #1 (on the left) is m₁ = 0.116 kg.
