Work Energy And Power Question 106
Question: A body of mass 50 kg is projected vertically upwards with velocity of 100 m/sec. 5 seconds after this body breaks into 20 kg and 30 kg. If 20 kg piece travels upwards with 150 m/sec, then the velocity of other block will be [RPMT 1999]
Options:
A) 15 m/sec downwards
B) 15 m/sec upwards
C) 51 m/sec downwards
D) 51 m/sec upwards
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Velocity of 50 kg. mass after 5 sec of projection
At this instant momentum of body is in upward direction
After breaking 20 kg piece travels upwards with 150 m/s let the speed of 30 kg mass is V
By the law of conservation of momentum
therefore
i.e. it moves in downward direction.
