Vedclass · Answer

(D) Mass of bullet $= m$, Initial speed of bullet $= v$. Mass of block $= M$, Initial speed of block $= 0$. Let the common velocity of the system after collision be $V$. According to the law of conservation of linear momentum: $m v + M(0) = (m + M)V$ $V = \frac{m v}{m + M}$ Heat generated is equal to the loss in kinetic energy $(KE)$. $\Delta KE = KE_{initial} - KE_{final}$ $\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} - \frac{1}{2} (m + M) V^{2}$ Substituting the value of $V$: $\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} - \frac{1}{2} (m + M) \left( \frac{m v}{m + M} \right)^{2}$ $\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} - \frac{1}{2} (m + M) \frac{m^{2} v^{2}}{(m + M)^{2}}$ $\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \left( 1 - \frac{m}{m + M} \right)$ $\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \left( \frac{m + M - m}{m + M} \right)$ $\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} \frac{m M v^{2}}{m + M}$
