A particle of mass 5 m which is at rest explodes into 3 fragments. Two equal fragments each of mass 2m are found to move with a speed v each in opposite directions. The energy released in the process of explosion is

a
2mv2
b
32mv2
c
5mv2
d
52mv2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

From conservation of momentum , 2mV - 2mV+mV'=0      hence v' =0  total kinetic energy=2122mV2 =2mV2
