A bomb of mass 9 kg explodes into two parts. One part of mass 3 kg moves with velocity 16 ~m / s , then the KE of the other part is
Options
- A162 J
- B150 J
- C192 J
- D200 J
Correct answer
C. 192 J
Step-by-step solution
From the law of conservation of momentum 3 16+6 v=9 0 or v=-8 ~m / s v=8 ~m / s (numerically) Therefore, its kinetic energy K= 1 2 6 (8)^2=192 ~J
