A thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless surface and is free to move in any way on the surface Its mass is 0 16 kg and length 3 meters Two particles each of mass 0 08 kg are moving on the same surface and towards the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar one with a velocity 10 m s and the other with 6m s as shown in figure The first particle strikes the bar at A and the other at the point B The points A and B are at distances 0 5 m from centre of the bar The particles strike the bar at the same instant of time and stick to the bar on collision Calculate the loss of kinetic energy of the system on the above collision process in Joule 10 m s 0 5 m 3 6 m s 0 5 m 10 5 m 3m
