There is an object of mass 5m kept at rest in space. Suddenly it explodes in three parts of masses m , 2m and 2m . Two parts of equal masses are found to move with equal speeds v along perpendicular directions . If energy released in explosion is `nmv^(2)` , then find value of n .

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step-by-step, we will use the principles of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. ### Step 1: Understand the system We have an object of mass \(5m\) at rest. It explodes into three parts with masses \(m\), \(2m\), and \(2m\). The two parts of mass \(2m\) move with equal speeds \(v\) along perpendicular directions. ### Step 2: Apply conservation of momentum Since the initial momentum of the system is zero (the object is at rest), the total momentum after the explosion must also be zero. ...
