Explanation

Both fragment will possess the equal linear momentum

m1v1=m2v21×80=2×v2v2=40m./s

∴ Total energy of system =12m1v12+12m2v22

= 12×1×(80)2+12×2×(40)2

= 4800 J = 4.8 kJ 

An object of mass 3m splits into three equal fragments. Two fragments have velocities vj^ and vi^. The velocity of the third fragment is

Explanation

This is a problem of conservation of momentum. The total initial momentum of the 3m mass is zero. After splitting, the sum of momenta of the three fragments must also be zero. If two fragments have velocities vj and vi, the third fragment must have velocity -v(i + j) to conserve momentum.

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

Explanation

According to the principle of conservation of momentum, the total momentum before the explosion must be equal to the total momentum after the explosion. Given: m1 = 18 kg, v1 = 6 m/s, m2 = 12 kg. Using p1 + p2 = 0, we get m2v2 = -m1v1 = -18*6 = -108 kg.m/s. Therefore, v2 = -108/12 = -9 m/s. The kinetic energy of the 12 kg mass is (1/2)mv^2 = (1/2)12(-9)^2 = 486 J.

A shell initially at rest explodes into two pieces of equal mass, then the two pieces will

Explanation

According to law of conservation of linear momentum both pieces should possess equal momentum after explosion. As their masses are equal therefore they will possess equal speed in opposite direction.

Two solid rubber balls A and B having masses 200 gm and 400 gm respectively are moving in opposite directions with velocity of A equal to 0.3 m/s. After collision the two balls come to rest, then the velocity of B is

Explanation

In a completely inelastic collision between two bodies, the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. Given: m1 = 200 g = 0.2 kg, v1 = 0.3 m/s, m2 = 400 g = 0.4 kg, v2 = ? Using conservation of momentum: m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v, where v is the final common velocity. Substituting the values, we get 0.20.3 + 0.4v = 0.6*0, which gives v = -0.15 m/s.

A cannon ball is fired with a velocity 200 m/sec at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. At the highest point of its flight ,it explodes into 3 equal fragments, one going vertically upwards with a velocity 100 m/sec, the second one falling vertically downwards with a velocity 100 m/sec. The third fragment will be moving with a velocity
