Answer:

Correct Answer: 13. (b)

Solution:

  1. In all type of collisions, momentum of the system always remains constant. In perfectly inelastic collision, particles stick together and move with a common velocity.

Let this velocity is vc. Then,

initial momentum of system = final momentum of system

or m(2v)i^+2m(v)j^=(m+2m)vc

vc=23(vi^+vj^)

|vc| or vc or speed =23v2+23v2=223v

Initial kinetic energy

Ki=12(m)(2v)2+12(2m)(v)2=3mv2

Final kinetic energy

Kf=12(3m)223v2=43mv2

Fractional loss =KiKfKi×100

=(3mv2)43mv2(3mv2)×100=56
