The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum. Here's the detailed solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a bomb with a total mass of 1 kg that explodes into three parts with mass ratios of 1:1:3. The two smaller parts (each of mass 0.2 kg) move in perpendicular directions with a velocity of 30 m/s. We need to find the velocity of the larger part (mass 0.6 kg). ### Step 2: Determine the Masses Given the mass ratio of 1:1:3, we can denote the masses as: - Mass of part 1 (m1) = x - Mass of part 2 (m2) = x - Mass of part 3 (m3) = 3x The total mass is: \[ m1 + m2 + m3 = x + x + 3x = 5x = 1 \text{ kg} \] Thus, we find: \[ x = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \text{ kg} \] So, the masses are: - m1 = 0.2 kg - m2 = 0.2 kg - m3 = 0.6 kg ### Step 3: Set Up the Momentum Conservation Equation Since the bomb is initially stationary, the initial momentum is zero. After the explosion, the momentum must also equal zero: \[ 0 = m1 \cdot v1 + m2 \cdot v2 + m3 \cdot v3 \] Where: - \( v1 \) and \( v2 \) are the velocities of the two smaller parts, - \( v3 \) is the velocity of the larger part. ### Step 4: Assign Directions to the Velocities Assume: - Part 1 moves in the positive x-direction: \( v1 = 30 \, \text{m/s} \, \hat{i} \) - Part 2 moves in the positive y-direction: \( v2 = 30 \, \text{m/s} \, \hat{j} \) ### Step 5: Substitute Values into the Momentum Equation Substituting the values into the momentum equation: \[ 0 = (0.2 \cdot 30 \hat{i}) + (0.2 \cdot 30 \hat{j}) + (0.6 \cdot v3) \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = 6 \hat{i} + 6 \hat{j} + 0.6 v3 \] ### Step 6: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging gives: \[ 0.6 v3 = -6 \hat{i} - 6 \hat{j} \] Thus: \[ v3 = \frac{-6 \hat{i} - 6 \hat{j}}{0.6} \] \[ v3 = -10 \hat{i} - 10 \hat{j} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Magnitude of the Velocity The magnitude of \( v3 \) is given by: \[ |v3| = \sqrt{(-10)^2 + (-10)^2} \] \[ |v3| = \sqrt{100 + 100} = \sqrt{200} = 10\sqrt{2} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 8: Conclusion The velocity of the larger part is \( 10\sqrt{2} \, \text{m/s} \) in the direction opposite to the resultant of the two smaller parts.

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum. Here's the detailed solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a bomb with a total mass of 1 kg that explodes into three parts with mass ratios of 1:1:3. The two smaller parts (each of mass 0.2 kg) move in perpendicular directions with a velocity of 30 m/s. We need to find the velocity of the larger part (mass 0.6 kg). ### Step 2: Determine the Masses Given the mass ratio of 1:1:3, we can denote the masses as: - Mass of part 1 (m1) = x ...
