$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along the $x$-axis with a speed $v_0$. Suddenly,a part of its mass,$m/3$,breaks off and moves parallel to the $y$-axis with a speed $2v_0$. Find the velocity of the remaining part in terms of unit vectors.

  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}v_0 \hat{i} + \frac{1}{2}v_0 \hat{j}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}v_0 \hat{i} + v_0 \hat{j}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}v_0 \hat{i} - v_0 \hat{j}$
  • D
    $v_0 \hat{i} - v_0 \hat{j}$
