JEE Main 2024 — 6 April, Shift 1 — Question 32

A bullet of mass 50 g is fired with a speed 100 m/s100 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} on a plywood and emerges with 40 m/s40 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}. The percentage loss of kinetic energy is :

  1. Option A:

    32%32 \%

  2. Option B:

    44%44 \%

  3. Option C:

    16%16 \%

  4. Option D:

    84%84 \%

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

Ki=12 m(100)2\quad \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}(100)^{2}

Kf=12 m(40)2 \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}(40)^{2}

% loss =∣Kf−Ki∣Ki×100\% \text { loss }=\frac{\left|\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}-\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}\right|}{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}} \times 100

=∣12m(40)2−12m(100)2∣12m(100)2×100=\frac{\left|\frac{1}{2} m(40)^{2}-\frac{1}{2} m(100)^{2}\right|}{\frac{1}{2} m(100)^{2}} \times 100

=∣1600−100×100∣100=84%=\frac{|1600-100 \times 100|}{100}=84 \%
