A bomb explodes into two fragments of masses 3 kg and 1 kg. total kinetic energy of the fragments is 6 MJ. What is the ratio of the kinetic energies of smaller mass to the larger mass ? (A) 1/3. (B) 3. (C) 1/9. (D) 9.

Answer»

Answer is (B) 3.

Here MV = mν

Squaring both sides and simplifying we get

[(1/2) MV2]M = (1/2)(mν2)m.

That is (1/2)mν2/ (1/2)Mν2 = M/m.
