    A body of mass m strikes another body at rest of mass \[\frac{m}{9}\]. Assuming the impact to be inelastic the fraction of the initial kinetic energy transformed into heat during the contact is

    A)  0.1                                        

    B)  0.2

    C)   0.5                                       

    D)  0.64

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     The loss in kinetic energy which is transformed into heat \[=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right){{({{u}_{1}}+{{u}_{2}})}^{2}}\]                 Here, \[{{m}_{1}}=m,\,{{m}_{2}}=\frac{m}{9},{{u}_{1}}=u,{{u}_{2}}=0\]                 Loss \[\Delta \Epsilon =\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{m\times \frac{m}{9}}{m+\frac{m}{9}} \right)\times {{(u+0)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{10}{{u}^{2}}\] Now, initial kinetic energy \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{u}^{2}}\] \[\text{Required}\,\text{fraction =}\frac{\text{loss}\,\text{in kinetic}\,\text{energy}}{\text{initial}\,\text{kinetic}\,\text{energy}}\]                 \[=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{10}{{u}^{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}m{{u}^{2}}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{10}=0.1\]
