A bomb at rest explodes into three pieces of equal masses. If two pieces move perpendicular to each other, each with a speed v then the speed of the third piece is
Options
- AV
- Bv 2
- Cv 2
- D2 v
Correct answer
B. v 2
Step-by-step solution
Apply the conservation of momentum aligned & 3 m 0=m v ₁+m v ₂+m v ₃ & 0=m v i +m v j +m v ₃ & v ₃=-v i -v j & |v₃ |= (-v)^2+(-v)^2 = 2 v aligned
