Questions  

An object of mass 3m splits into three equal fragments. Two fragments have velocities vj^ and  vi^. The velocity of the third fragment is 

a
v(j^−i^)
b
v(i^−j^)
c
−v(i^+j^)
d
v(i^+j^)2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Initial momentum of 3m mass = 0                            …(i) Due to explosion this mass splits into three fragments of equal masses. Final momentum of system = mV→+mvi^+mvj^       …(ii) By the law of conservation of linear momentum mV→+mvi^+mvj^=0⇒V→=−v(i^+j^)
