A ball moving with a velocity \(v\), collides head on with a stationary second ball of same mass. After the collision, the velocity of the first ball is reduced to \(0.15 v\). The kinetic energy of the system is decreased nearly by

  1. A \(20 \%\)
  2. B \(25 \%\)
  3. C \(30 \%\)
  4. D \(40 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(25 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\Rightarrow\) Momentum is conserved, \( m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2=m_1 v_1+m_1 v_2 \) Given \(m_1=m_2=m, u_1=v\) and \(u_2=0\), also \(v=0.15 v\) \( \begin{aligned} & m v=m(0.15 v)+m v_2 \\ & v-0.15 v=v_2 \\ \Rightarrow & 0 \cdot 85 v=v_2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned} \)…
