$A$ spacecraft of mass $M$ is moving with a velocity $V$. It suddenly breaks into two parts. One part of mass $m$ comes to rest. What will be the velocity of the other part?

  • A
    $\frac{MV}{M - m}$
  • B
    $\frac{MV}{M + m}$
  • C
    $\frac{mV}{M - m}$
  • D
    $\frac{(M + m)V}{m}$

You are on a frictionless horizontal plane. How can you get off if no horizontal force is exerted by pushing against the surface?

At high altitude, a body at rest explodes into two equal fragments. One fragment receives a horizontal velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$. The time taken by the two position vectors connecting the point of explosion to the fragments to make an angle of $90^{\circ}$ is (in $\,s$)
