Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsCenter of Mass, Momentum and Collision
A Diwali rocket going vertically up, explodes at the topmost point of its trajectory, at horizontal distance 550 m from the point of projection see figure. When the fragments strike the ground one of the fragments is found at a location 550 m east and 120 m north of the launch point. Second fragment is found at a location 550 m east and 60 m south of the launch point. First two fragments are of equal mass m and third
Correct answer
5
Step-by-step solution
Location of COM when they all fall simultaneously =1100 ~m east. For Y-axis, m 120-m 60+2 m y 4 m =0 For X-axis m 550+m 550+2 m x 4 m =1100 x =1650, y =30
