Kinetic energy of pieces A and B are 2724 Joule and 5176 Joule respectively.

<h3>What is the relation between the masses of A and B?</h3>
  • Let mass of piece A = Ma

Mass of piece B = Mb

  • Velocities of pieces A and B are Va and Vb respectively.
  • As per conservation of momentum,

Ma×Va = Mb×Vb

  • Here, Ma=1.9Mb

So, 1.9Mb × Va = Mb×Vb

=> 1.9Va = Vb

<h3>What are the kinetic energy of piece A and B?</h3>
  • Expression of kinetic energy of piece A = 1/2 × Ma × Va²
  • Kinetic energy of piece B = 1/2 × Mb × Vb²
  • Total kinetic energy= 7900J

=>1/2 × Ma × Va² + 1/2 × Mb × Vb² = 7900

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² + 1/2 × (Ma/1.9) × (1.9Va)² = 7900

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² ×(1+1.9) = 7900 j

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² = 7900/2.9 = 2724 Joule

  • Kinetic energy of piece B = 7900 - 2724 = 5176 Joule

Thus, we can conclude that the kinetic energy of piece A and B are 2724 Joule and 5176 Joule respectively.

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.
