Question:medium

A body of mass 16 kg explodes into two pieces of masses 4 kg and 12 kg. The velocity of the 12 kg mass is 4 $ms^{-1}$. The kinetic energy of the second piece is

Show Hint

Momentum is conserved in explosions. If the masses are in a 3:1 ratio, their velocities will be in a 1:3 ratio.
