1) A spring ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped
from some height. On falling freely for
10 s, it explodes into two fragments of
mass ratio 1:2. The lighter fragment
continues to travel downwards with
speed of 60 m/s. Calculate the kinetic
energy supplied during explosion

Mass of the spring ball,
Mass of the two fragments will be,
As the spring ball is dropped, by first equation of motion, the speed of the spring ball after 10 seconds of dropping,
The speed of the lighter fragment,
Let be the velocity of the heavier fragment.
Since the linear momentum of the system is conserved,
Kinetic energy of the spring ball,
Kinetic energy of the lighter fragment,
Kinetic energy of the heavier fragment,
The kinetic energy supplied during explosion is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
