Work Energy And Power Question 304

Question: A body of mass M splits into two parts α and (1α) M by an internal explosion which generates kinetic energy T. After explosion if the two parts move in the same direction as before, their relative speed will be -

Options:

A) T(1α)M

B) 2Tα(1α)M

C) T2(1α)M

D) 2T(1a)M

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Let the speed of the body before explosion be u.

After explosion, if the two parts move with velocities u1

and u2 in the same direction, then according to conservation of momentum,

Or Mu1+(1α)Mu2=Mu

The kinetic energy T liberated during explosion is given

by T=12αMu12+12(1α)Mu2212Mu2

=12αMu12+12(1α)Mu2212M

[αMu1+(1α)Mu2]2

=12Mα(1α)[u12+u222u1u2]

(u1u2)2=2Tα(1α)M

(u1u2)=2Tα(1α)M
