If it is a completely inelastic collision then m1v1+m2v2=m1v+m2vv=m1+m2m1v1+m2v2 K⋅E=2 m1p12+2 m2p22 as p1 and p2 both simultaneously cannot be zero therefore total KE cannot be lost.
Statement-1 : Two particles moving in the same direction do not lose all their energy in a completely inelastic collision. Statement-2 : Principle of…
