    A shell of mass 200 g is ejected from a gun of mass 4 kg by an explosion that generates 1.05 kJ of energy. The initial velocity of the shell is

    A) 100 \[m{{s}^{-1}}\]  

    B)                        \[80\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[40\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    D) \[120\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: In the given problem conservation of linear momentum and energy hold good. Conservation of momentum yields. \[{{m}_{1}}{{v}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{v}_{2}}=0\]or\[4{{v}_{1}}+0.2{{v}_{2}}=0\]                          ...(i) Conservation of energy yields \[\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{1}}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{2}}v_{2}^{2}=1050\] or\[\frac{1}{2}\times 4v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.2\times v_{2}^{2}=1050\] or\[2v_{1}^{2}+0.1v_{2}^{2}=1050\]                                       ...(ii) Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have \[{{v}_{1}}=100\,m/s\]
