Answer:
The heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Explanation:
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:
0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂
M₁v₁ = M₂v₂
let the second piece be the heavier mass, then
M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂
v₁ = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁
From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:
¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400
K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400
Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁
1.5 K.E₁ = 8400
K.E₁ = 8400/1.5
K.E₁ = 5600 J
K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J
Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Grade 1: Stretching or slight tearing of the ligament with mild tenderness, swelling and stiffness. The ankle feels stable and it is usually possible to walk with minimal pain.
Grade 2: A more severe sprain, but incomplete tear with moderate pain, swelling and bruising. Although it feels somewhat stable, the damaged areas are tender to the touch and walking is painful.
Grade 3: This is a complete tear of the affected ligament(s) with severe swelling and bruising. The ankle is unstable and walking is likely not possible because the ankle gives out and there is intense pain.
