5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
medium

A body of mass $10\,kg$ moving with speed of $3 \,ms ^{-1}$ collides with another stationary body of mass $5 \,kg$. As a result, the two bodies stick together. The $KE$ of composite mass will be .......... $J$

A

$60$

B

 $30$

C

$90$

D

$120$

Solution

(b)

Using momentum conservation

$10(3)=15 \,V$

$V=2 \,m / s$

$K . E .=\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2}(15)(2)^2$

$=30 \,J$
