AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

A metal ball of mass 2 kg moving with a velocity of 36kmph has a head on collision with a stationary ball of mass 3 kg. After the collision, if both balls move together, the loss in kinetic energy due to collision is

  1. A 40 J
  2. B 60 J
  3. C 100 J
  4. D 140 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 60 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The linear momentum remains conserved before and after the collision, therefore, ⇒2 kg×36×10003600 m s-1+3 kg×0=3 kg+2 kgvv=205=4 m s-1 The loss in kinetic energy is,…
