$A$ body initially at rest breaks up into two pieces of masses $2 M$ and $3 M$ respectively,together having a total kinetic energy $E$. The piece of mass $2 M$,after breaking up,has a kinetic energy:

  • A
    $\frac{E}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{E}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{3E}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{2E}{5}$

$A$ cannon ball is fired with a velocity $200 \, m/s$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. At the highest point of its flight,it explodes into $3$ equal fragments. One fragment goes vertically upwards with a velocity $100 \, m/s$,and the second one falls vertically downwards with a velocity $100 \, m/s$. The third fragment will be moving with a velocity:

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. What is the average speed of the rail car $+$ bowling balls system some time after the collision?

$A$ gun fires a small bullet with kinetic energy $K$. Then the kinetic energy of the gun while recoiling is

$A$ block of mass $m$ is moving with a velocity $u$ on a smooth horizontal surface towards a wedge of same mass $m$ initially kept at rest. The wedge is free to move in any direction. Initially, the block moves up the smooth inclined plane of the wedge to a height $h$ and then moves down back to the horizontal plane. In this process, the wedge gains a velocity equal to:

$A$ shell in free space initially at rest explodes into two pieces,$A$ and $B$,which then move in opposite directions. Piece $A$ has less mass than piece $B$. Ignore all external forces. Identify the correct statement.
