An object $A$ of mass $M$ is falling vertically downwards under the influence of gravity. It breaks into two parts: part $B$ of mass $\frac{1}{3}M$ and part $C$ of mass $\frac{2}{3}M$. The center of mass of the combined parts $B$ and $C$ will be displaced relative to object $A$ in which direction?

  • A
    Towards $C$
  • B
    Towards $B$
  • C
    Depends on the height of breaking
  • D
    Will not be displaced
