Work Energy And Power Question 115

Question: A body at rest breaks up into 3 parts. If 2 parts having equal masses fly off perpendicularly each after with a velocity of 12m/s, then the velocity of the third part which has 3 times mass of each part is [UPSEAT 2001]

Options:

A) 42m/s at an angle of 45o from each body

B) 242m/s at an angle of 135o from each body

C) 62m/s at 135o from each body

D) 42m/s at 135o from each body

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The momentum of third part will be equal and opposite to the resultant of momentum of rest two equal parts let V is the velocity of third part.

By the conservation of linear momentum 3m×V=m×122

therefore V=42 m/s
