20 J
5 J
15 J
zero

JEE Main 2025 (Online) 22nd January Evening Shift Physics - Motion in a Plane Question 3 English Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2 \\ & \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}\left(\mathrm{v} \cos 60^{\circ}\right)^2=\frac{1}{8} \mathrm{mv}^2 \\ & \Delta \mathrm{k}=\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{3}{8} \mathrm{mv}^2=\frac{3}{8} \times 0.1 \times 400=15 \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned}$$
