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
The rms speed can be calculated using the following rule:
rms = sqrt ((3RT) / (M)) where:
R is the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol-K
T is the temperature = 31.5 + 273 = 304.5 degrees kelvin
M is the molar mass = 2*14 = 28 grams = 0.028 kg
Substitute with the givens to get the rms speed as follows:
rms speed = sqrt [(3*8.314*304.5) / (0.028)] = 520.811 m/sec
