$A$ bag of sand of mass $M$ is suspended by a string. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired at it with velocity $v$ and gets embedded into it. The loss of kinetic energy in this process is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} \times \frac{1}{{M + m}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} \times \frac{M}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2}\left( {\frac{M}{{M + m}}} \right)$
