  • question_answer
    A bomb of 12 kg explods into two pieces of masses 4 kg and 8 kg. The velocity of 8 kg mass is 6 m/s. The kinetic energy of the other mass is

    A)  48 J            

    B)  32 J

    C)  24 J            

    D)  288 J

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Applying conservation of momentum \[{{m}_{1}}{{v}_{1}}={{m}_{2}}{{v}_{2}}\] \[{{v}_{1}}=8\times \frac{6}{4}=12\,m/s\] \[KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times {{(12)}^{2}}=288\,J\]
