Work Energy And Power Question 287

Question: An object of mass 2.0 kg makes an elastic collision with another object of mass M at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with one-fourth of its original speed. What is the value of M?

Options:

A) 0.75kg

B) 1.0kg

C) 1.2kg

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] For the object of mass 2.0 kg.

Δkk=kk/4k=34

Kinetic energy transferred Δkk=4m1m2(m1+m2)2

Here, m1=2.0kg,m2=M

34=4×2M(2+M)2M=23kgor6kg
