Answer 1

A bag of sand of mass 9.8 kg is suspended by a rope. A bullet of 200 g travelling with speed 10 ms^-1 gets embedded in it, then loss of kinetic energy will be 9.8 J.

Explanation:

As no external force is acting on system so, P_i = P_f

0.2 × 10 = 10 × v ⇒ v = 0.2 m/sec

Loss in K.E. = `1/2xx(0.2)xx10^2-1/2xx10(0.2)^2`

= `1/2xx10xx(0.2)[10-0.2]`

= 9.8 J
