A body at rest explodes in to two fragments ratio of whose masses is 1 : 4. If kinetic energy of the lighter mass is 12 Joule, what is the kinetic energy of the heavier mass?

a
6 J
b
8 J
c
3 J
d
4 J

detailed solution

Correct option is C

m1:m2=1:4 By conservation of momentum p1=p2Now p122m1=12 J. So kinetic energy is inversely proportional to mass. k1k2=m2m1 12k2=41   k2=3J
