A body initially at rest, breaks up into two pieces of masses \(2 M\) and \(3 M\) respectively, together having a total kinetic energy \(E\). The piece of mass \(2 M\), after breaking up, has a kinetic energy

  1. A \(\frac{E}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{E}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{{3E}}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{{2E}}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{{3E}}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the law of conservation momentum, \(p_{1}=p_{2}\) Kinetic energy, \(E=\frac{p^{2}}{2 m}\)
