Question Image

Let the initial mass of body = m 

Initial linear momentum = mv --------(i)

When it breaks into equal masses then one of the fragment retrace back with same velocity 

 Final linear momentum =m2(-v)+m2v2---------------(ii)

By the conservation of linear momentum 

mv=-mv2+mv22v2=3v

i.e. other fragment moves with velocity 3v in forward direction
