A stationery body of mass 3kg explodes into three equal pieces. Two of the pieces fly off at right angles to each Other. One with a velocity of m/s and other with a velocity of m/s.If the explosion takes place in s, the average force acting on the third piece in newtons is
Since the body explodes into three equal parts, therefore =1 kg
Let the velocity of the third part be .According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum,
Momentum of system before explosion = Momentum of system after explosion
Or
Or
Or v= - ( )m/s
Average force acting on the third particle is
