i need to find the initial and final kinetic energy of the system before AND after collision. for this collision the smaller object is colliding with the larger object (which is originally at rest) mass A is .3 kg and mass B is .5 kg 

for object one my initial kinetic energy is .05 and the final kinetic energy is .002

for object 2 the initial kinetic energy is  0 and the final kinetic energy is 0.02
