MCQ
A body A of mass M while falling vertically downwards under gravity breaks into two parts; a body B of mass 1/3M and a body C of mass 2/3M. The centre of mass of bodies B and C taken together shifts compared to that of body A towards
  • A
    body C.
  • B
    body B.
  • C
    depends on height of breaking.
  • ✓
    does not shift.
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
does not shift.
(D)
The position of centre of mass remains unaffected because breaking of mass into two parts is due to internal forces.
