Lock X of mass M slides across a horizontal surface where friction is negligible. Block X collides with block Y of mass 2M that is initially at rest, as shown in Figure 1. After the collision, both blocks slide together with a speed vs , as shown in Figure 2. What is the kinetic energy of the two-block system before the collision?

c.is a substance that requires a small amount of energy per gram to raise its temperature; has strong cohesive forces between molecules.

explanation:

a colorless, transparent, odorless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
