JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 5. work,energy,power and collision

If a rubber ball falls from a height \(h\) and rebounds upto the height of \(h / 2\). The percentage loss of total energy of the initial system as well as velocity ball before it strikes the ground, respectively, are _______.

  1. A \(50 \%, \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{gh}}{2}}\)
  2. B \(50 \%, \sqrt{\mathrm{gh}}\)
  3. C  \(40 \%, \sqrt{2 \mathrm{gh}}\)
  4. D \(50 \%, \sqrt{2 \mathrm{gh}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(50 \%, \sqrt{2 \mathrm{gh}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { Velocity just before collision }=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{gh}}\) \(\text { Velocity just after collision }=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{~g}\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{2}\right)}\) \(\therefore \Delta \mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}(2 \mathrm{gh})-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mgh}\)…
