Questions
A shell is fired from a cannon with velocity v m/s at an angle with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon and the speed in m/s of the other piece immediately after the explosion is:
detailed solution
Correct option is A
In case of projectile motion as the highest point(v)vertcial = 0 and (v)horizontal = v cos θthe initial linear momentum of the system will be mv cos θ. Now as fore of blasting is internal and force of gravity is vertical, so linear momentum of the system along horizontal is conserved, i.e., P1 + P2 = mv cos θ or m1v1 + m2v2 = mv cos θ But it is given that m1 = m2 = m2 and as one part retraces its path, v1 = -v cos θ12m(-vcosθ)+12mv2 = mv cos θSolving, we get: v2 = 3v cos θTalk to our academic expert!
