हिन्दीA block of mass \( m_1 = 2\text{ kg} \) moving with a speed of \( 6\text{ m s}^{-1} \) collides with a stationary block of mass \( m_2 = 4\text{ kg} \). If the collision is completely inelastic, what is the ratio of the kinetic energy lost during the collision to the initial kinetic energy of the system?
Correct answer · Option 2
\( \frac{2}{3} \)
Explanation
Fractional loss in kinetic energy is \( \frac{\Delta K}{K_i} = \frac{m_2}{m_1 + m_2} = \frac{4}{2 + 4} = \frac{2}{3} \).
