A bomb of 12 kg explodes into two pieces of masses 4 kg and 8 kg. The velocity of 8kg mass is 6 m/sec. The kinetic energy of the other mass is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
As the initial momentum of the bomb was zero, therefore after explosion the two parts should possess numerically equal momentum i,e 
Kinetic energy of the other mass
