After division, the mass of the bomb divides into two parts ratio of masses is 1 : 3.
So after division, the masses will be 3 kg and 9 kg and the kinetic energy of the smaller part is 216 J.
According to the law of conservation of momentum, the initial momentum of the system is zero (as there is no motion initial). So the final momentum of the system will also be zero.This implies that the momentum of the divided parts of the bomb must move in opposition to each other.
\(P_{\text {initial }}=P_{\text {final }} \)
\(\Rightarrow 0=P_{\text {big }}-P_{\text {small }} \)
\(\Rightarrow P_{b}=P_{s}\)
The kinetic energy of the bigger part, \(K_{b}=\frac{P_{b}^{2}}{2 M_{b}}\)
The kinetic energy of the smaller part, \(K_{s}=\frac{P_{s}^{2}}{2 M_{s}}\)
Since, \(P _{ b }= P _{ s }\)
\(\therefore P _{ b }^{2}= P _{ s }^{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow P_{b}^{2}=K_{s}\left(2 M_{s}\right) \quad [\because P _{ s }^{2}=K_{s}(2 M_{s})]\)
\(\Rightarrow P_{b}^{2}=216(2 \times 3) \)
\(\Rightarrow P_{b}^{2}=216 \times 6 \)
\(\Rightarrow P_{b}=\sqrt{1296}\)
\(\Rightarrow P_{b}=36 \)kg-m/s
\(\therefore\) The momentum of the bigger part is \(36\)kg-m/s.
