A stationary bomb explodes into two parts of masses 3kg and 1kg. The total KE of the two parts after explosion is 2400 J. The KE of smaller part is
According to the principle of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy, when an explosive body breaks into smaller parts, most of the kinetic energy is acquired by the smaller part due to its larger velocity. Hence, the 1 kg part has a higher kinetic energy of 1800 J.
