$A$ shell of mass $m$ is at rest initially. It explodes into three fragments having mass in the ratio $2:2:1$. If the fragments having equal mass fly off along mutually perpendicular directions with speed $v$,the speed of the third (lighter) fragment is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2} v$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{2} v$
  • C
    $3 \sqrt{2} v$
  • D
    $v$

$A$ cannon shell fired breaks into two equal parts at its highest point. One part retraces the path to the cannon with kinetic energy $E_1$ and the kinetic energy of the second part is $E_2$. The relation between $E_1$ and $E_2$ is:

$A$ bomb initially at rest explodes by itself into three equal mass fragments. The velocities of two fragments are $(1\hat{i}+3\hat{j}) \ m/s$ and $(2\hat{i}-4\hat{j}) \ m/s$. The velocity of the third fragment (in $m/s$) is

$A$ 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:
