उत्तर
The relative velocity of the ball w.r.t. the moving frame is given by \[v_r = v - v_0\]
(a) Initial kinetic energy of the ball =\[\frac{1}{2}m {v_r}^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v - v_0 )^2\]
Also, final kinetic energy of the ball =\[\frac{1}{2}m(0 - v_0 )^2 = \frac{1}{2}m {v_0}^2\]
(b) Work done by the kinetic friction = final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy
