Consider the situation as shown in the figure. The ball strikes the wall normally and the collision is elastic. The wall is moving with a velocity of $20 \ m/s$ to the right,and the ball is moving with a velocity of $10 \ m/s$ to the left. The mass of the ball is $500 \ g$. The change in the kinetic energy of the ball is $....J$.

  • A
    $300$
  • B
    $600$
  • C
    $900$
  • D
    $1200$
