Find how much kinetic energy was dissipated in collision

Reference no: EM13668660

On a frictionless track, a 0.307 kilogram glider moving 8.92 m/s to the right collides with a 0.811 kilogram glider moving 1.55 m/s to the left. If the two gliders stick together, find what is their final velocity after the collision takes place? Furthermore, determine how much kinetic energy (in percentage form) was dissipated in the collision?
