$A$ stationary particle explodes into two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ which move in opposite directions with velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$. The ratio of their kinetic energies $E_1/E_2$ is:

  • A
    $m_1/m_2$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $m_1v_2/m_2v_1$
  • D
    $m_2/m_1$

$A$ buggy of mass $100\, kg$ is free to move on a frictionless horizontal track. Two men,each of mass $50\, kg$,are standing on the buggy,which is initially stationary. The men jump off the buggy with a velocity of $10\, m/s$ relative to the buggy. In one situation,the men jump one after the other. In another situation,the men jump simultaneously. What is the ratio of the recoil velocities of the buggy in the two cases?
