An internal explosion breaks an object, initially at rest,into
two pieces, one of which has 1.5 times the mass of the other.If
7500 J were released in the explosion, how much kinetic energydid
each piece acquire?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4500 J and 3000 J

Explanation:

According to conservation of momentum

      [tex]0 = m_1 V_1 + m_2 V_2[/tex]

Given that m_2 = 1.5 m_1 , so

    [tex]V_1 = -1.5 V_2[/tex]

  the kinetic energy of each piece is

    [tex]K_2= \frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2[/tex]

    [tex]K_1= \frac{1}{2} m_1v_1^2[/tex]

substituting the value of V1 in the above equation

    [tex]K_1 = (1/2)( m_2 / 1.5 )( -1.5 V_2)^2 = 1.5 (1/2)m_2 V_2^2 = 1.5 K_2[/tex]

  Given that

         K_1 + k_2 = 7500 J

       1.5 K_2 + K_2 = 7500

         K_2 = 7500 / 2.5

               = 3000 J

this is the KE of heavier mass

      K_1 = 7500 - 3000 = 4500 J

this is the KE of lighter mass

Each piece of the object possess a kinetic energy of 3000 and 4500 Joules respectively.

  • Let the first piece of object be A.
  • Let the second piece of object be B.

Given the following data:

  • Initial velocity = 0 m/s (since object is at rest).
  • Total kinetic energy = 7500 Joules
  • Mass B = 1.5Mass A = [tex]\frac{3M_A}{2}[/tex]

To find the amount of kinetic energy possessed by each piece of an object:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum, we have:

[tex]M_AV_A + M_BV_B = 0[/tex]

[tex]M_AV_A = - M_BV_B \\\\M_AV_A = -1.5 M_AV_B\\\\V_A =\frac{ -1.5 M_AV_B}{M_A}\\\\V_A =\frac{ -3 V_B}{2}[/tex]

For the energy:

[tex]Total \;kinetic \;energy = Kinetic \;energy \;A + Kinetic \;energy \;B\\\\Total \;kinetic \;energy = \frac{1}{2}M_AV_A^2 + \frac{1}{2}M_BV_B^2[/tex]

Substituting the values, we have:

[tex]7500 = \frac{1}{2}M_AV_A^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{3M_A}{2}) (\frac{2V_A}{3})^2\\\\7500 = \frac{1}{2}M_AV_A^2 + \frac{3M_A}{4} (\frac{2V_A}{3})^2\\\\7500 = \frac{5}{2} (\frac{1}{2}M_AV_A^2)\\\\7500 = \frac{5}{2} (K.E_A)\\\\5K.E_A = 7500 \times 2\\\\5K.E_A = 15000\\\\K.E_A = \frac{15000}{5}[/tex]

Kinetic energy A = 3000 Joules

For Kinetic energy B:

[tex]Kinetic \;energy\; B = 7500 - 3000[/tex]

Kinetic energy B = 4500 Joules
