A moving body of mass m makes a head on elastic collision with another body of mass `2m` which is initially at rest. Find the fraction of kinetic energy lost by the colliding particles after collision.

Answer» Substituting the values in above result
`(K_i-K_f)/(K_i)=(4m_1m_2)/((m_1+m_2)^2)`
`=(4xxmxx2m)/((m+2m)^2)`
`=8/9`
