A bullet of mass \(50 \mathrm{~g}\) is fired with a speed \(100 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) on a plywood and emerges with \(40 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). The percentage loss of kinetic energy is _______.

  1. A \(32 \%\)
  2. B \(44 \%\)
  3. C \(16 \%\)
  4. D \(84 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(84 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}} =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}(100)^2\) \(\mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{f}} =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}(40)^2\) \(\% \text { loss }=\frac{\left|\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}-\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}\right|}{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}} \times 100\)…
