$A$ spacecraft of mass $M$ is moving in space with a velocity $v$. It explodes and breaks into two pieces. After the explosion,a piece of mass $m$ comes to rest. The velocity of the other piece is ......

Newton's third law of motion leads to the law of conservation of

$A$ particle of mass $5m$ at rest suddenly breaks on its own into three fragments. Two fragments of mass $m$ each move along mutually perpendicular directions with speed $v$ each. The energy released during the process is

The principle of conservation of linear momentum can be strictly applied during a collision between two particles provided the time of impact is

$A$ cannon shell fired breaks into two equal parts at its highest point. One part retraces the path to the cannon with kinetic energy $E_1$ and the kinetic energy of the second part is $E_2$. The relation between $E_1$ and $E_2$ is:

An isolated rail car of mass $M$ is moving along a straight,frictionless track at an initial speed $v_0$. The car is passing under a bridge when a crate filled with $N$ bowling balls,each of mass $m$,is dropped from the bridge into the bed of the rail car. The crate splits open and the bowling balls bounce around inside the rail car,but none of them fall out. Is the momentum of the rail car $+$ bowling balls system conserved in this collision?
