$A$ ball of mass $10\, kg$ moving with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \, m/s$ along the $x$-axis,hits another ball of mass $20\, kg$ which is at rest. After the collision,the first ball comes to rest while the second ball disintegrates into two equal pieces. One piece starts moving along the $y$-axis with a speed of $10 \, m/s$. The second piece starts moving at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to the $x$-axis. The velocity of the ball moving at $30^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis is $x \, m/s$. The configuration of pieces after the collision is shown in the figure. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is:

  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $24$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $30$

Which of the following statements is true for a collision?

$A$ person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of $10 \ kg$ up to a height of $1 \ m$, $1000$ times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up? Fat supplies $3.8 \times 10^7 \ J$ of energy per $kg$, which is converted to mechanical energy with a $20\%$ efficiency rate. Take $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$.
