What fraction of big yellow fish initial kinetic energy lost

Reference no: EM13321013

Big yellow fishing swimming at 2.0m/s swallows little green fish at rest. Big yellow fish is 3 times as massive as little green fish. After big fish swallows little fish, they move together at the same final speed 1.5m/s with a combined mass of 4m. Model this as a completely inelastic collision. What fraction of big yellow fish's initial kinetic energy was lost is this collision?
