The correct answer is:
A shell fired at an angle , velocity of the shell at the highest point is
Let its mass be
The speed of one piece is and let the speed of other piece be .
Hence at the highest point, from conservation of momentum
.......(i)
The kinetic energy
.......(ii)
Similarly,
......(iii)
The relation between the and
( from the equation (ii) )
