Add the kinetic energies of each. How hard is that?
Kinetic Energy = (M/2)*V ^2
Surely you have seen that before
The direction that they travel doesn't matter.
A 6 kg block moves at 5 m/s to the right while a 9.5 kg block moves at 8 m/s to the right. Find the total kinetic energy of the two-block system.
