A bomb of mass 3.0 kg3.0 \mathrm{~kg} explodes in air into two pieces of masses 2.0 kg2.0 \mathrm{~kg} and 1.0 kg1.0 \mathrm{~kg}. The smaller mass goes at a speed of 80 m/s80 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}. The total energy imparted to the two fragments is

Options

  1. A1.07 kJ1.07 \mathrm{~kJ}
  2. B2.14 kJ2.14 \mathrm{~kJ}
  3. C2.4 kJ2.4 \mathrm{~kJ}
  4. D4.8 kJ4.8 \mathrm{~kJ}.

Correct answer

D. 4.8 kJ4.8 \mathrm{~kJ}.

Step-by-step solution

Velocity of second piece can be find out using conservation of momentum. O=m1v1+m2v2=2\timesv1+1×80⇒v1=−40 m/s.\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{O}=m_1 v_1+m_2 v_2=2 \timesv_1+1 \times80 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & v_1=-40 \mathrm{~m}/ \mathrm{s} . \end{aligned}Negative sign showing that particle is moving in opposite direction of other particle direction. Energy imparted to the fragments are converted into their kinetic energy. ∴ Total energy =12m1v12+12m2v22=12×2×1600+12×1×6400=4800 J=4.8 kJ.\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad\text{ Total energy }& =\frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2 v_2^2 \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times2 \times₁₆₀₀⁺\frac{1}{2} \times1 \times6400 \\ & =4800 \mathrm{~J}=4.8 \mathrm{~kJ} . \end{aligned}
