Find the original kinetic energy is lost in the collision

Reference no: EM13262849

In Anchorage, collisions of a vehicle with a moose are so common that they are referred to with the abbreviation MVC. Suppose a 950 kg car slides into a stationary 400 kg moose on a very slippery road, with the moose being thrown through the windshield (a common MVC result).

(a) What percent of the original kinetic energy is lost in the collision to other forms of energy? A similar danger occurs in Saudi Arabia because of camel-vehicle collisions (CVC).

(b) What percent of the original kinetic energy is lost if the car hits a 320 kg camel?
