The loss of kinetic energy during inelastic impact, is given by (where m1 = Mass of the first body,m2 = Mass of the second body, and u1 and u2 = Velocities of the first and second bodies respectively.)

[2(m₁ + m₂)/m₁ m₂] (u₁ - u₂)²
[m₁ m₂/2(m₁ + m₂)] (u₁² - u₂²)
[2(m₁ + m₂)/m₁ m₂] (u₁² - u₂²)
[m₁ m₂/2(m₁ + m₂)] (u₁ - u₂)²

Engineering Mechanics
A semicircular disc rests on a horizontal surface with its top flat surface horizontal and circular portion touching down. The coefficient of friction between semi circular disc and horizontal surface is µ. This disc is to be pulled by a horizontal force applied at one edge and it always remains horizontal. When the disc is about to start moving, its top horizontal force will

Slant down towards direction of pull
None of these
Remain horizontal
Slant up towards direction of pull
