Body A of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body B of mass $2m$, at rest. The collision is head on and elastic in nature. After the collision the fraction of energy lost by the colliding body A is:Fractional loss of KE of the colliding body in a head-on elastic collision: $\frac{\Delta KE}{KE}=\frac{4m_1m_2}{(m_1+m_2)^2}$ $=\frac{4\times4m\times2m}{(4m+2m)^2}=\frac{32m^2}{36m^2}=\frac{8}{9}$
