    A block of mass 1 kg moving with a speed of \[\text{2 m}{{\text{s}}^{\text{-1}}}\]collides with and sticks to another block of mass 2 kg which was initially at rest. After the collision

    A)  The momentum of the system is less than \[\text{2}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-\text{1}}}\]9

    B)  The kinetic energy of the system is\[\frac{2}{3}J\]  

    C)  The kinetic energy of the system is \[2J\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Option  cannot be true as momentum has to remain conserved. Common velocity,\[v=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{2}{3}\]kinetic energy of the system after collision             \[=\frac{1}{2}({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}){{v}^{2}}\]             \[=\frac{1}{2}(3)\times \frac{4}{9}=\frac{2}{3}\]
