No I don't know what the ratios are, but here is a link to nasa website regarding the "mission" , they are not calling it a bomb, they call it
centaur(a rocket) and centaur will impact first ,the idea being that it will cause a plume of debris that the shepherding spacecraft 4 minutes later will pass
through collecting data on its way before it too impacts. They are planning a 1.5 hour broadcast on nasa tv.
Here is a link to their FAQ:
