    The object at rest suddenly explodes into three parts with the mass ratio 2:1:1. The parts of equal masses move at right angles to each other with equal speeds. The speed of the third part after the explosion will be

    A)  2v                                                         

    B)  v/\[\sqrt{2}\]

    C)  v/2                                       

    D)  \[\sqrt{2}\]v

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Let the speed of the third part be \[{{v}_{3}}.\] Applying the law of conservation of momentum, we have \[\sqrt{p_{1}^{2}+p_{2}^{2}}=p\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[p_{1}^{2}+p_{2}^{2}={{p}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{({{m}_{1}}{{v}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{m}_{2}}{{v}_{2}})}^{2}}={{({{m}_{3}}{{v}_{3}})}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{(m\times v)}^{2}}+{{(m\times v)}^{2}}={{(2m\times {{v}_{3}})}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{m}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}+{{m}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}=4{{m}^{2}}v_{3}^{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2{{m}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}=4{{m}^{2}}v_{m}^{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{v}_{3}}=\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}\]
