A stationary object explodes into two fragments of masses 2 kg and 4 kg. Just after the explosion, velocity of the smaller fragment is found to be 8 m/s. Then kinetic energy of the larger fragment just after explosion is 

a
64 Joule
b
24 Joule
c
32 Joule
d
48 Joule

detailed solution

Correct option is C

(3)Conserving linear momentum,4  ×  v=2  ×8      ⇒   v=4 m/s.∴     Kinetic energy  of  4kg mass =  12  ×  4× 42J=32  Joule.
