Solution

The correct option is C

3J


Step 1: Given data:

  1. Mass of body m=10kg
  2. Mass of body A, mA=4kg
  3. Mass of body B, mB=6kg
  4. The final velocity of body A, vA=1.5m/s

Formula Used: Law of conservation of momentum, Totalinitialmomentum=Totalfinalmomentumofthesystem

Step 2: Calculate the ratio of velocities of masses A and B:

Let the Final velocity of the first part A, vAm/s and the final velocity of body B, vBm/s

The initial momentum of the system is zero.

The final momentum of the system is the sum of momentums of A and B,

mAvA+mBvB=4×1.5+6×vB=6+6vB

The initial momentum of the system = Final momentum of the system

6(1+vB)=0 vB=-1m/s……(i)

The velocity of the bigger part is 1m/s

Step 3: Find the kinetic energy of mass B using (i)

As we know the kinetic energy of mass A=216J (Given)

12mBvB2=126kg×(vB)2m2s-2=3(1)2=3J

Hence, the momentum of mass B is 3J

Option C is correct.
