A)

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total initial momentum must be equal to the total final momentum, so

where
m = 50 g = 0.05 kg is the mass of the ball
v0 is the initial speed of the ball
M = 1.0 kg is the mass of the block
v is the final speed of the block+ball together
Solving for v, we find

B) 95.2 %
The initial kinetic energy of the ball is:

while the final kinetic energy of the system is

So, the loss in kinetic energy is

In percentage,

which means 95.2%.
