A shell initially at rest explodes into two pieces of equal mass, then the two pieces will |
|||
a) |
Be at rest |
b) |
Move with different velocities in different directions |
c) |
Move with the same velocity in opposite directions |
d) |
Move with the same velocity in same direction |

Move with the same velocity in opposite directions |
d) |
Move with the same velocity in same direction |
(c) According to law of conservation of linear momentum both pieces should possess equal momentum after explosion. As their masses are equal therefore they will possess equal speed in opposite direction |
