A bomb of mass 16 kg at rest explodes into two pieces of masses 4 kg and 12 kg. The velocity of the 12 kg mass is `4 ms^(-1)`. The kinetic energy of the other mass is :

A

144 J

B

288 J

C

192 J

D

96 J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

Initial momentum = final momentum
`16xx0=4v_1+12xx4`
`v_1=-12m//s`
`:.` K.E. =`1/2m_1v_1^2=1/2xx4(-12)^2=288J`.
