$A$ trolley of length $L$ has a pistol fixed on its wall as shown in the figure. The mass of the (trolley + pistol) is $M$. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired from the pistol with a velocity $v_0$ and hits the opposite wall. What is the distance moved by the trolley during the time the bullet travels to hit the opposite wall?

  • A
    $-\frac{m}{M} L$
  • B
    $-\frac{m+M}{m} L$
  • C
    $\frac{m}{m+M} L$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{m-M}{m} \right) L$

$A$ firecracker is thrown with a velocity of $30 \, ms^{-1}$ in a direction that makes an angle of $75^{\circ}$ with the vertical axis. At some point on its trajectory,the firecracker splits into two identical pieces in such a way that one piece falls $27 \, m$ far from the shooting point. Assuming that all trajectories are contained in the same plane,how far will the other piece fall from the shooting point? (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ and neglect air resistance)
