$A$ body $A$ of mass $M$ falls vertically downwards under gravity. It breaks into two parts: a body $B$ of mass $1/3 M$ and a body $C$ of mass $2/3 M$. The center of mass of bodies $B$ and $C$ taken together shifts from the direction of $A$ by:
- ADepends on the height of breaking
- BDoes not shift
- CDepends on the body
- DDepends on the height of the body
