    A body of mass 4 kg moving with velocity 12 m/s collides with another body of mass 6 kg at rest. If two bodies stick together after collision, then the loss of kinetic energy of system is                         [J&K CET 2005]

    A)                         Zero                

    B)                         288 J            

    C)             172.8 J

    D)             144 J

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Loss in K.E. = \[\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}{2({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})}{{\left( {{u}_{1}}-{{u}_{2}} \right)}^{2}}\]                     = \[\frac{4\times 6}{2\times 10}\times {{(12-0)}^{2}}\]= 172.8 J
