A) \[v(\hat{j}-\hat{i})\]
B) \[v(\hat{i}-\hat{j})\]
C) \[-v(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\]
D) \[\frac{v(\hat{i}+\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Initial momentum of 3m mass = 0 ?(i) Due to explosion this mass splits into three fragments of equal masses. Final momentum of system = \[m\vec{V}+mv\hat{i}+mv\hat{j}\] ?(ii) By the law of conservation of linear momentum \[m\vec{V}+mv\hat{i}+mv\hat{j}=0\]Þ \[\vec{V}=-v(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\]You need to login to perform this action.
