MHT CET2018PhysicsCenter of Mass, Momentum and Collision
A bomb at rest explodes into 3 parts of same mass. The momentum of two parts is - 3 p i ^ and 2 p j ^ respectivley. The magnitude of momentum of the third part is
Options
- Ap
- B5 p
- C11 p
- D13 p
Correct answer
D. 13 p
Step-by-step solution
As initial momentum is zero, final will be also zero ∴ p 3 = 9 p 2 + 4 p 2 = 13 p .
