  • A
    $1.5v$
  • B
    $2v$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: When a firecracker (rocket) explodes in mid-air,its fragments fly in such a way that the centre of mass of the fragments continues to move along the same parabolic path that the firecracker would have followed had it not exploded.
Reason $(R)$: The explosion of a firecracker (rocket) occurs due to internal forces only,and no external force acts to cause this explosion.

$A$ body falling vertically downwards under gravity breaks into two parts of unequal masses. The centre of mass of the two parts taken together

An object $A$ of mass $M$ is falling vertically downwards under the influence of gravity. It breaks into two parts: part $B$ of mass $\frac{1}{3}M$ and part $C$ of mass $\frac{2}{3}M$. The center of mass of the combined parts $B$ and $C$ will be displaced relative to object $A$ in which direction?

$A$ man of $50\, kg$ mass is standing in a gravity-free space at a height of $10\, m$ above the floor. He throws a stone of $0.5\, kg$ mass downwards with a speed of $2\, m/s$. When the stone reaches the floor,the distance of the man above the floor will be ...... $m$.

Two bodies of $6 \,kg$ and $4 \,kg$ masses have their velocities $5 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+10 \hat{k}$ and $10 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}$ respectively. Then the velocity of their centre of mass is
