JEE Main2008PhysicsCenter of Mass, Momentum and CollisionActual
A block of mass 0.50 ~kg is moving with a speed of 2.00 ~m / s on a smooth surface. It strikes another mass of 1.00 ~kg and then they move together as a single body. The energy loss during the collision is
Options
- A0.16 ~J
- B1.00 ~J
- C0.67 ~J
- D0.34 ~J
Correct answer
C. 0.67 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned & m₁ u₁+m₂ u₂= (m₁+m₂ ) v & v=2 / 3 ~m / s & Energy loss = 1 2 (0.5) (2)^2- 1 2 (1.5) ( 2 3 )^2=0.67 ~J aligned
