$A$ particle of mass $m$ travelling along the $x$-axis with speed $v_0$ shoots out $1/3$ of its mass with a speed $2v_0$ along the $y$-axis. The velocity of the remaining piece is:

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

$A$ 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.

$A$ body is moving with a velocity $v$ and breaks up into two equal parts. One of the parts retraces its path with velocity $v$. Then the velocity of the other part is:

$A$ ball of mass $10 \, kg$ moving with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \, m/s$ along the $X$-axis,hits another ball of mass $20 \, kg$ which is at rest. After the collision,the first ball comes to rest and the second one disintegrates into two equal pieces. One of the pieces starts moving along the $Y$-axis at a speed of $10 \, m/s$. The second piece starts moving at a speed of $20 \, m/s$ at an angle $\theta$ (in degrees) with respect to the $X$-axis. The configuration of pieces after the collision is shown in the figure. The value of $\theta$ to the nearest integer is:

$A$ $1 \; kg$ stationary bomb explodes into three parts having mass ratio $1:1:3$. The parts with equal mass move in perpendicular directions with a velocity of $30 \; m/s$. What is the velocity of the third (heavier) part?
