Q.

A bullet of mass 50g is fired with a speed 100 m/s on a plywood and emerges with 40 m/s. The percentage loss of kinetic energy is             [2024]

1 44%  
2 32%  
3 84%  
4 16%  

Ans.

(3)    

          Ki=12m(100)2 and Kf=12m(40)2

          %loss=|Kf-Ki|Ki×100=|12m(40)2-12m(100)2|12m(100)2×100

           =|1600-100×100|100=84%
