A boy is rolling a 0.5 kg ball on the frictionless floor with the speed of 20 m s-1. The ball gets deflected by an obstacle on the way. After deflection it moves with 5% of its initial kinetic energy. What is the speed of the ball now?
  1. 19.0 m s-1
  2. 4.4 m s-1
  3. 14.41 m s-1
  4. 1.00 m s-1

Solution

Given, m=0.5 kg and u=20 m s-1

Initial kinetic energy ki=12mu2

=12×0.5×20×20=100 J

After deflection it moves with 5% of ki

kf=5100×ki5100×100

kf=5 J

Now, let the final speed be 'v'  m s-1, then:

kf=5=12mv2

v2=20

v=20=4.47 m s-1
