A body of mass at rest explodes into three pieces, in the ratio of masses . Two smaller pieces fly off perpendicular to each other with velocities of and respectively. The velocity of the third piece will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let the masses of the three parts be and .
Momentum of first part and momentum of second part .
Third part will fly in a direction opposite to the direction of resultant of and , so that total momentum of the system after explosion remains zero.
Momentum of the third part is
Velocity of third part,
