Question

A space craft of mass M is moving with velocity v in free space when it explodes and breaks in two. After the explosion, a mass m of the space craft is Left stationary. What is the velocity of other part ?

Moderate
Solution

Let v1 be the velocity of second part. Applying the law of conservation of momentum, we have 

 Mv=m×0+(Mm)v1 V1=MV(Mm)
