Gasses take the shape of their container.
A gas fills a container which takes both the shape and the volume of that container.
Given :
Initial speed of car A is 15 m/s and initial speed of car B is zero.
Final speed of car A is zero and final speed of car B is 10 m/s.
To Find :
What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision.
Solution :
Initial kinetic energy is :

Final kinetic energy is :

Now, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss is :

Therefore, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss in the collision is 1.25 .
Answer:
A. reduces the magnitude of the force required to stop the ball.
C. increases the contact time of the hand with the ball.
D. does neither increase nor decrease the impulse required to stop the ball.
Explanation:
As we know that the force required to stop the ball is given as

here we know that

so we have

now we know that time to stop the ball is increased due to which the force to stop the ball is decreased
so we have correct answer will be
A. reduces the magnitude of the force required to stop the ball.
C. increases the contact time of the hand with the ball.
D. does neither increase nor decrease the impulse required to stop the ball.
