A shell of mass 3m is moving horizontally through air with velocity u when an internal explosion causes it to separates into two parts of masses m and 2m, which continue to move horizontally in the same vertical plane. If the explosion generates additional energy, of amount `12mu^(2)` prove that the two fragments separate with relative speed 6u.

A shell moving with a velocity of 500 m/s, suddenly explodes into two pieces of masses m_(1) and m_(2) . They continue to move with velocities of 600 m/s and 200 m/s in the same direction. What is the ratio (m_(1))/(m_(2)) of the two pieces?

An object of mass 5 kg is projected with a velocity of 20 m/s at angle of 60° to the horizontal. At the highest point of its path, the projectile explodes and breaks up into two fragments of masses 1 kg and 4 kg. The fragments separate horizontally after the explosion. The explosion releases internal energy such that the kinetic energy of the system at the highest point is doubled. If the separation between the two fragments when they reach the ground is x, then find the value of x/(5sqrt(3)) .
