Two astronauts directly approach each other in space (so friction can be neglected). Astronaut A (mass 75.0 kg) has speed 1.50 m/s directly to the right and Astronaut B (mass 50.0 kg) has speed 5.00 m/s directly to the left. When the Astronauts meet, they grab each other and continue moving together. How much of the initial kinetic energy can be converted to other forms?
