    A tennis ball dropped from a height of 2 m rebounds only 1.5 m after hitting the ground. What fraction of energy is lost in the impact?

    A)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]                      

    B)         \[\frac{1}{8}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]                   

    D)         \[\frac{1}{16}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Work done \[=F\times s\]                 \[=(10000\times 9.8)\times 100\]                 \[=98\times {{10}^{5}}\] joule Power   \[=\frac{w}{t}=\frac{90\times {{10}^{5}}}{60\times 60}watts\] Now, \[%=\frac{Power\,\,used\,\,to\,\,lift\,\,load}{Total\,\,power}\times 100\] \[\therefore \]    \[80=\frac{98\times {{10}^{5}}}{60\times 60}\times \frac{1}{P}\times 100\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[P=\mathbf{3403}\,\,\mathbf{watts}\]
