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 = kf−ki =12(m1+m2)v2−12m1u21 =12×0.3×(13)2−12×0.1×12 =−0.033 J ∴ loss in kinetic energy of system due to collision is equal to 0.033 J
