An artillery piece of mass $M_1$ fires a shell of mass $M_2$ horizontally. Instantaneously after the firing,the ratio of kinetic energy of the artillery and that of the shell is:

  • A
    $M_1 / (M_1 + M_2)$
  • B
    $M_2 / M_1$
  • C
    $M_2 / (M_1 + M_2)$
  • D
    $M_1 / M_2$

At a certain height,a body at rest explodes into two equal fragments with one fragment receiving a horizontal velocity of $10\sqrt{3} \text{ m/s}$. The horizontal distance between the two fragments,when their displacement vectors are inclined at $60^{\circ}$ relative to each other,is (take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$):

$A$ 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:
