Law of conservation of momentum and it's applications
Question

A body at rest breaks up into 3 parts. If 2 parts having equal masses fly off perpendicularly each after with a velocity of 12m/s, then the velocity of the third part which has 3 times mass of each part is

Moderate
Solution

The momentum of third part will be equal and opposite to the resultant of momentum of rest two equal parts 
let V is the velocity of third part. 
By the conservation of linear momentum 
3m×V=m×122 V=42m/s
