Vedclass · Answer

(B) According to the law of conservation of linear momentum,the total momentum before collision equals the total momentum after collision.$mv + (2m)(0) = (m + 2m)v'$$mv = 3mv'$$v' = \frac{v}{3}$The initial kinetic energy is $KE_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$.The final kinetic energy is $KE_f = \frac{1}{2}(m + 2m)(v')^2 = \frac{1}{2}(3m)(\frac{v}{3})^2 = \frac{1}{2}(3m)(\frac{v^2}{9}) = \frac{1}{6}mv^2$.The loss in kinetic energy is $\Delta KE = KE_i - KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{6}mv^2 = \frac{3-1}{6}mv^2 = \frac{2}{6}mv^2 = \frac{1}{3}mv^2$.The percentage loss in kinetic energy is $\frac{\Delta KE}{KE_i} 	imes 100 = \frac{\frac{1}{3}mv^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv^2} 	imes 100 = \frac{2}{3} 	imes 100 = \frac{200}{3}\,\%$.
