Explosion

Explosion

Explosion is a process where a body breaks into parts due to internal forces.

### Formula

$$\vec{P}_{initial}=\vec{P}_{final}$$

For body initially at rest:

$$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0$$

### Terminologies

- P → Linear momentum.

- m₁, m₂ → Masses of fragments.

- v₁, v₂ → Velocities of fragments.

### Conditions / Special Cases

- Momentum is conserved.

- Kinetic energy increases due to conversion of internal energy.

### Usage

- Used in recoil and explosion problems.
