MCQ
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
  • Move with the same velocity in opposite directions
  • D
    Move with the same velocity in same direction

Answer

Correct option: C.
Move with the same velocity in opposite directions
c
(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.
