JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 31st August Morning Shift - No. 24)

A block moving horizontally on a smooth surface with a speed of 40 ms$$-$$1 splits into two equal parts. If one of the parts moves at 60 ms$$-$$1 in the same direction, then the fractional change in the kinetic energy will be x : 4 where x = ___________.
Answer

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 31st August Morning Shift Physics - Work Power & Energy Question 71 English Explanation
Pi = Pf

m $$\times$$ 40 = $${m \over 2}$$ $$\times$$ v + $${m \over 2}$$ $$\times$$ 60

40 = $${v \over 2}$$ + 30

$$\Rightarrow$$ v = 20

(K. E.)I = $${1 \over 2}$$m $$\times$$ (40)2 = 800 m

(K. E.)f = $${1 \over 2}$$$${m \over 2}$$ . (20)2 + $${1 \over 2}$$ . $${m \over 2}$$ (60)2 = 1000 m

| $$\Delta$$ K. E. | = | 1000m $$-$$ 800 m | = 200 m

$${{\Delta K.E.} \over {{{(K.E.)}_i}}} = {{200m} \over {800m}} = {1 \over 4} = {x \over 4}$$

x = 1
