An electron collides with a free molecule initially in its ground state. The collision leaves the molecule in an excited state that is metastable and does not decay to the ground state by radiation. Let $K$ be the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the electron and the molecule,and $p$ be the sum of their initial momenta. Let $K^{\prime}$ and $p^{\prime}$ represent the same physical quantities after the collision. Then,

$A$ ball moving with a velocity $v$ collides head-on with a stationary second ball of the same mass. After the collision, the velocity of the first ball is reduced to $0.15 v$. The kinetic energy of the system is decreased nearly by (in $\%$)
