Given that the fragment a acquires three
times the kinetic energy of the fragment b.

KE= 3KEь
⇒1/2 mₐv⁰ₐ² = 3 (1/2mьv⁰ь²)

⇒1/2 mₐv⁰ₐ² = 3/2 mь(-mₐv⁰ₐ/mь)²
⇒1/2 mₐv⁰ₐ² = 3/2 mь(mₐ²v⁰ₐ²/mь²)

⇒1/2 x 2/3 = mₐ/mь= 1/3

Thus the ratio
of the masses of the fragments is 1:3.

Answer:
weeds out the weak, sick, and old by killing them
Explanation:
velocity gradient= velocity/distance
