JEE Main & Advanced Physics Work, Energy, Power & Collision / कार्य, ऊर्जा और शक्ति Question Bank Perfectly Inelastic Collision

  • question_answer
    A body of mass 40kg having velocity 4 m/s collides with another body of mass 60kg having velocity 2 m/s. If the collision is inelastic, then loss in kinetic energy will be                       [Pb. PMT 2001]

    A)             440 J  

    B)             392 J

    C)             48 J    

    D)             144 J

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Loss in kinetic energy             \[=\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}{{({{u}_{1}}-{{u}_{2}})}^{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{40\times 60}{40+60} \right){{(4-2)}^{2}}\]\[=48\,Joule\]
