$A$ projectile is fired with velocity $u$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory,it splits into three segments of masses $m, m$,and $2m$. The first part falls vertically downward with zero initial velocity,and the second part returns via the same path to the point of projection. The velocity of the third part of mass $2m$ just after the explosion will be:

  • A
    $u \cos \theta$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2} u \cos \theta$
  • C
    $2 u \cos \theta$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{2} u \cos \theta$

$A$ 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:

$A$ 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:
