My notes don't provide an equation.
I am given inital and final velocity
Vi=50 m/s
Vf=25 m/s
Thanks.

what was i thinking?!
ok mass 1= 1.0 kg; initial velocity = 50 m/sec ; final velocity =25 m/sec
mass 1.0 kg; initial velocity= 0; final velocity = 25 m/sec
The formula for calculating energy lost in a collision is: Energy Lost = Initial Energy - Final Energy.
The energy lost in a collision is typically measured in Joules (J) or in kilojoules (kJ).
Yes, the energy lost in a collision can be negative. This indicates that the final energy is greater than the initial energy, meaning that energy was gained rather than lost in the collision.
The amount of energy lost in a collision can be affected by factors such as the mass and velocity of the objects involved, the type of collision (elastic or inelastic), and any external forces acting on the objects.
Calculating the energy lost in collisions is important in understanding the efficiency of a system. It can also help predict the outcome of future collisions and inform safety measures in various industries such as transportation and sports.
