$A$ spacecraft of mass $M$ is moving with velocity $V$ and suddenly explodes into two pieces. $A$ part of it of mass $m$ comes to rest. The velocity of the other part will be:

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

$A$ $100\, g$ iron ball having velocity $10\, m/s$ collides with a wall at an angle of $30^\circ$ with the wall and rebounds with the same angle. If the period of contact between the ball and the wall is $0.1\, s$,then the force experienced by the wall is ........... $N$.

$A$ spring is compressed between two toy carts of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released,the spring exerts equal and opposite average forces for the same time on each toy cart. If $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the velocities of the toy carts and there is no friction between the toy carts and the ground,then :
