    A bomb of mass 30 kg at rest explodes into two pieces of masses 18 kg and 12 kg. The velocity of 18 kg mass is \[6\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]. The kinetic energy of the other mass is

    A) 256 J     

    B)                        486 J                     

    C) 524 J                     

    D)        324 J

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The linear momentum of exploding part will remain conserved. Applying conservation of linear momentum, we write, \[{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}={{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}\] Here,     \[{{m}_{1}}=18kg,\]\[{{m}_{2}}=12kg\] \[{{u}_{1}}=6\,m{{s}^{-1}},\]\[{{\mu }_{2}}=?\] \[\therefore \]  \[18\times 6=12{{\mu }_{2}}\] Thus, kinetic energy of 12 kg mass \[{{K}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{2}}\mu _{2}^{2}\]      \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 12\times {{(9)}^{2}}\]      \[=6\times 81\]      \[=486\,J\]
