Solution

The correct option is B 0.033 J
Before collision

After collision

Using, law of conservation of momentum
pi=pfm1u1+m2u2=(m1+m2)v
0.1×1=(0.1+0.2)v
v=13 m/s
Change in kinetic energy of system due to collision Δk.E = kfki
=12(m1+m2)v212m1u21
=12×0.3×(13)212×0.1×12
=0.033 J
loss in kinetic energy of system due to collision is equal to 0.033 J
