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 .
