A) 1.5 m/s
B) 2.0 m/s
C) 2.5 m/s
D) 3.0 m/s
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Momentum of one piece \[=\frac{m}{4}\times 3\] Again, momentum of one piece\[=\frac{m}{4}\times 4\] Resultant momentum\[=\sqrt{\frac{9{{M}^{2}}}{16}+{{M}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{5M}{4}\] The third piece should also have the same momentum. Let its velocity be v, then \[\frac{5M}{4}=\frac{M}{2}\times v\] or \[v=\frac{5}{2}=2.5\,m/s\]You need to login to perform this action.
