$A$ block moving horizontally on a smooth surface with a speed of $40\, m/s$ splits into two parts with masses in the ratio of $1:2$. If the smaller part moves at $60\, m/s$ in the same direction,then the fractional change in kinetic energy is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{8}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}$

Particle $A$ of mass $m_{1}$ moving with velocity $(\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, m/s$ collides with another particle $B$ of mass $m_{2}$ which is at rest initially. Let $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ be the velocities of particles $A$ and $B$ after collision,respectively. If $m_{1} = 2m_{2}$ and after collision $\vec{V}_{1} = (\hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j}) \, m/s$,the angle between $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ is $......^{\circ}$.
