Question

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

Moderate
Solution

The bomb of mass 12kg divides into two masses 
m1 and m2 then m1+m2=12      …(i)
and  m1m2=13                              …(ii)
by solving we get m1=3kg and  m2=9kg
Kinetic energy of smaller part =  12m1v12=216J
v12=216×23v1=12m/s
So its momentum =  m1v1=3×12=36kg​-​m​​​/s
As both parts possess same momentum therefore momentum of each part is  36kg​-​m​​​/s
