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 ms-1 . The kinetic energy of the other mass is

a
256 J
b
486 J
c
524 J
d
324 J

detailed solution

Correct option is B

According to law of conservation of linear momentum  mAvA=mBvB=18×6=12×vB⇒vB=9 m​/​s  K.E.  of mass 12 kg,  EB=12mBvB2=12×12×(9)2=486J
