Answer:

0 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is 0. The kinetic energy after the perfectly inelastic collision would be zero Joules. A perfectly inelastic collision occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. Hope this answers the question.
