A bomb of 12 kg divides in two parts whose ratio of masses is 1 : 3. If kinetic energy of smaller part is 216 J, then momentum of bigger part in kg-m/sec will be
The bomb of mass 12kg divides into two masses
m1 and m2 then …(i)
and …(ii)
by solving we get and
Kinetic energy of smaller part =
So its momentum =
As both parts possess same momentum therefore momentum of each part is
