# A \( 1.0 \)\( \text{-kg} \) object is moving with a velocity of \( 6.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) to the right. It collides and sticks to a \( 2.0 \)\( \text{-kg} \) object moving with a velocity of \( 3.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) in the same direction. How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision?

A \( 1.0 \)\( \text{-kg} \) object is moving with a velocity of \( 6.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) to the right. It collides and sticks to a \( 2.0 \)\( \text{-kg} \) object moving with a velocity of \( 3.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) in the same direction. How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision?

- **A.** \( 1.5 \) \( \text{J} \)
- **B.** \( 2.0 \) \( \text{J} \)
- **C.** \( 2.5 \) \( \text{J} \)
- **D.** \( 3.0 \) \( \text{J} \)
- **E.** \( 0 \) \( \text{J} \)
