See attached picture. Two identical 0.5 kilogram objects collide on a frictionless, level surface. Object #1 is initially moving along the x-axis at 3 meters/second and object#2 is initially at rest. After the collision, object #1 has a velocity given by (0.5 i + 1.0 j) meters/second.  a) find object #2's final velocity. b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? c) draw the collision free-body diagram. This is a physics collision problem, so there is a final velocity for object 2 and a loss of kinetic energy due to the collision. Can you help with an accurate solution for the problem. See the attached picture that goes with the problem. Thank you.

See attached picture. Two identical 0.5 kilogram objects collide on a frictionless, level surface. Object #1 is initially moving along the x-axis at 3 meters/second and object#2 is initially at rest. After the collision, object #1 has a velocity given by (0.5 i + 1.0 j) meters/second. 

a) find object #2's final velocity.

b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?

c) draw the collision free-body diagram.

This is a physics collision problem, so there is a final velocity for object 2 and a loss of kinetic energy due to the collision. Can you help with an accurate solution for the problem.

See the attached picture that goes with the problem.

Thank you.
