$A$ metal ball of mass $2 \,kg$ moving with a velocity of $36 \,km/h$ has a head-on collision with a stationary ball of mass $3 \,kg$. If after the collision,the two balls move together,the loss in kinetic energy due to the collision is ........ $J$.

$A$ body of mass $2\, kg$ moving with a velocity of $3\, m/s$ collides head-on with a body of mass $1\, kg$ moving in the opposite direction with a velocity of $4\, m/s$. After the collision,the two bodies stick together and move with a common velocity. The common velocity in $m/s$ is equal to:

Two bodies of the same mass $m$ are moving with the same speed $v_0$,but in different directions in a plane. They undergo a completely inelastic collision and move together thereafter with a final speed which is half of their initial speed. The angle between the initial velocities of the two bodies (in degrees) is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ collides with a stationary particle of mass $2m$ and sticks to it. What is the combined velocity of the system?

$A$ body of mass $m$ moving along a straight line collides with a stationary body of mass $2m$. After collision,if the two bodies move together with the same velocity,then the fraction of kinetic energy lost in the process is
