    A bullet of mass m moving with velocity v strikes a block of mass M at rest and gets embedded into it. The kinetic energy of the composite block will be   [MP PET 2002]

    A)             \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\times \frac{m}{(m+M)}\]         

    B)             \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\times \frac{M}{(m+M)}\]

    C)                         \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\times \frac{(M+m)}{M}\]          

    D)                           \[\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}\times \frac{m}{(m+M)}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    By conservation of momentum,           \[mv+M\times 0=(m+M)V\]             Velocity of composite block \[V=\left( \frac{m}{m+M} \right)\,v\]             K.E. of composite block \[=\frac{1}{2}(M+m){{V}^{2}}\]             \[=\frac{1}{2}(M+m)\,{{\left( \frac{m}{M+m} \right)}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\left( \frac{m}{m+M} \right)\]
