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

What percentage of kinetic energy of a moving particle is transferred to a stationary particle when it strikes the stationary particle of \(5\) times its mass? (Assume the collision to be head-on elastic collision)

  1. A \(50\)
  2. B \(66.6\)
  3. C \(55.5\)
  4. D \(33.3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(55.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity after collision \(V_{2}=\frac{\left(m_{2}-m_{1}\right) u_{2}+2 m_{1} u_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\) \(V_{2}=\frac{(5 m-m) 0+2 m \cdot u_{0}}{m+5 m}=\frac{u_{0}}{3}\) \(\% \Delta K E=\frac{\frac{1}{2} 5 m\left(\frac{u_{0}}{3}\right)^{2}-0}{\frac{1}{2} m u_{0}^{2}} \times 100\)…
