Two objects, moving in one dimension, undergo an isolated collision. Object A has initial velocity 1 m/s. Object B has an initial velocity -3 m/s. After the collision, the relative velocity of the two objects is v_AB=+2 m/s. The reduced mass of the two objects is ⅔ kg.

What is the change in total kinetic energy of the entire system during this collision? (If it decreases, make your answer negative.) Express your answer in units of Joules, but enter only the numeric answer
