Question

A mass 3 m , initially at rest at the origin explodes into three fragments of equal mass. Two of the fragments have speed v each and move perpendicular to each other. The third fragment will move with a speed, v 2, v 2, v, v 2

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

From law of conservation of momentum net moment of the of the first two particles moving with velocities v is = 2 v From the conservation of linear momentum momentum of the third particle must be 12 v to make resultant of momentum due to all three particles zero
