a 5-kg fish swimming at 1 m/s swallows an absent minded 1-kg fish at rest. What is the speed of the large fish immediately afyer

lunch? What would its speed be if the small dish were swimming toward it at 4 m/s?

Answer:

In first case speed of fish will be \frac{5}{6} m/s.

In the second case the speed of fish \frac{1}{6} m/s

Explanation:

Given data :-

Mass of bigger fish ( m₁ ) = 5 kg.

Mass of small fish ( m₂ ) = 1 kg.

Speed of large fish ( v₁ ) = 1 m/s

Mass of bigger fish after eating smaller one = 5 + 1 = 6 kg.

Case - 1

Momentum of bigger fish before eating the smaller fish = m₁* v₁ = 5 * 1 = 5 kg.m/s

Momentum of bigger fish after eating the larger fish = ( m₁ + m₂)*v

v = speed of bigger fish immediately after lunch.

Using the conservation of momentum.

m₁* v₁ = ( m₁ + m₂)*v

5 = 6 * v

v = \frac{5}{6}  m/s.

Case -2

Speed of small fish = 4 m/s

Momentum of bigger fish before lunch = 5 kg.m/s

Momentum of smaller fish before lunch = 4*1 = 4 kg.m/s

Net momentum before lunch = 5 - 4 = 1 kg.m/s

Momentum of bigger fish after eating the larger fish = 6 * V

Using the conservation of momentum.

1 = 6 * V

V = \frac{1}{6} m/s.

Ronch [10]
We Know, K.E. = 1/2 × m × v²
From the expression, we can conclude that Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. So, as mass will increase, Kinetic energy will also increase.

In short, Your Correct answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!
