Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800J of energy.

Explanation:

Let the velocity of the first piece be v1 and that of the second piece be v1 and also let the masses be m1 and m2 respectively.

m2 = 2m1

From the principles of conservation of momentum

m1v1 = m2v2

m1v1 = 2m1v2

Dividing through by m1

That is v1 = 2v2

v2 = 1/2v1

Total kinetic energy = 8400J

1/2m1v1² + 1/2m2v2² = 8400

1/2m1v1² + 1/2(2m1) × (1/2v1)² = 8400

1/2m1v1² + 1/4m1v1² = 8400

Let 1/2m1v1 = K1

K1 + 1/2K1 = 8400

3/2K1 = 8400

K1 = 8400× 2/3 = 5600J

K2 = 8400 – 5600 = 2800J

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 kinetic energy of a body of mass 15 kg is 30 joule. What is its momentum?
lys-0071 [83]

This problem is a piece o' cake, IF you know the formulas for both kinetic energy and momentum.  So here they are:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

So, now ... We know that

==> mass = 15 kg,  and

==> kinetic energy = 30 Joules

Take those pieces of info and pluggum into the formula for kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

30 Joules = (1/2) · (15 kg) · (speed²)

60 Joules = (15 kg) · (speed²)

4 m²/s² = speed²

Speed = 2 m/s

THAT's all you need !  Now you can find momentum:

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

Momentum = (15 kg) · (2 m/s)

<em>Momentum = 30 kg·m/s</em>

<em>(Notice that in this problem, although their units are different, the magnitude of the KE is equal to the magnitude of the momentum.  When I saw this, I wondered whether that's always true.  So I did a little more work, and I found out that it isn't ... it's a coincidence that's true for this problem and some others, but it's usually not true.)</em>
