(b) What percentage of the total energy released does each fragment get when one fragment has four times the mass of the other? ### Answer ## (a)$K_{A}=\left(\frac{m_{B}}{m_{A}+m_{B}}\right) Q \quad-\quad K_{B}=\left(\frac{m_{A}}{m_{A}+m_{B}}\right) Q$(b)$\frac{K_{A}}{Q}=20.0 \% \quad-\quad \frac{K_{B}}{Q}=80.0 \%\$

There is no external horizontal force on the object. Some momentum will be conserved so we can write B plus B B equals to zero. From here, we can write equals two minus pd. So now putting values we get area m maybe equals two minus of minus. M v v v. Okay, so from here we can write we b equals two. I am a deal whereby we I am a deal whereby MB multiplied by leak. Okay, See, this is exclusion number one No. The total energy released from the explosion explosion is the kinetic energy. So we can write q equals two total kinetic energy That is kinetic energy of a plus Kinetic energy of the Okay, so now we can write two equals two K plus one by two MB We be square No putting the value of will be In this equation we get two equals two a a plus one by two m b and we b s m a divided by m b multiplied by three a and holy square. So now after solving it, we get mhm two equals two and putting value of K A. That is half m A V a square half m a we a square plus one by two And solving this we gas m a v a square m a by M. V. This is the relations from here. By taking common, we get one by two m a v a holy sphere, and we get one plus m a d m v. Okay, so we can write. This is okay, so we can write q equals two e I am a plus MB They were by envy. Okay, so from here, the kinetic energy of a comes out to be m b divided by m A plus MB multiplied by Q So this is the answer for the kinetic energy of particles. A. Okay, so now mhm moving forward Substituting this equation we get q equals two m b d baby m a plus MB manipulated by q plus kv. Okay, so now from here we can write KB equals to one minus m b divided by m plus M v not a play by Q. So from here, after solving eight k b equals two m e divided by m A plus MB manipulated by. So this is the the kinetic energy of B in the equation for no for the part B. We have some values that is, we have m equals to four times off MB. So now putting all these situations, we get a equals two and be they were by is four times of M V c four MV plus MB. Thank you. So from here, we get Cube, I fight. So from here now we can right? Que que equals to 20.0%. This is the answer for the this part. Okay, So similarly, we can get K b equals two 100% minus K. Bye, Q, That is 80%. Okay, so KB by. So from here, we get KB by Q as 80%. Okay, so this is the answer for the part B, okay?
