$A$ shell of mass $M$ initially at rest suddenly explodes into three fragments. Two of these fragments are of mass $M/4$ each, which move with velocities $3 \text{ m/s}$ and $4 \text{ m/s}$ respectively in mutually perpendicular directions. The magnitude of the velocity of the third fragment is: (in $\text{ m/s}$)

  • A
    $3.0$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D

Two masses $A$ and $B$ of mass $M$ and $2M$ respectively are connected by a compressed ideal spring. The system is placed on a horizontal frictionless table and given a velocity $u \hat{k}$ in the $z$-direction as shown in the figure. The spring is then released. In the subsequent motion,the line from $B$ to $A$ always points along the $\hat{i}$ unit vector. At some instant of time,mass $B$ has an $x$-component of velocity as $V_x \hat{i}$. The velocity $\vec{V}_A$ of mass $A$ at that instant is:
