    A space craft of mass 'M', moving with velocity V suddenly breaks into two pieces. After the explosion mass 'm' becomes stationary. What is the velocity of the other part of the craft?

    A)  \[\frac{Mv}{M-m}\]               

    B)  \[v\]

    C)  \[\frac{mv}{M}\]                               

    D)  \[\frac{M-m}{m}v\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Total momentum will be conserved. Initial momentum =- Final momentum \[M.v=m\times 0+(M-m)v'\] \[\therefore \]\[v'=\frac{Mv}{M-m}\]
