AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

A bomb at rest explodes into three parts of equal mass. If the momentum of two parts are \(-2 p \hat{\mathbf{i}}\) and \(p \hat{\mathbf{j}}\), find the magnitude of momentum of the third part.

  1. A \(p\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{3} p\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{5} p\)
  4. D 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{5} p\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(p^{\prime} \hat{\mathbf{n}}\) be the momentum of third parts, then according to conservation of linear momentum. Total moment before explosion \(=\) Total momentum after explosion…
