At high altitude, a body explodes which is at rest into two equal fragments with one fragment receiving horizontal velocity of \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). Time taken by the two radius vectors connecting point of explosion to fragments to make \(90^{\circ}\) is

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~s}\)
  2. B \(4 \mathrm{~s}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~s}\)
  4. D \(1 \mathrm{~s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1 \mathrm{~s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation is shown in the following figure. According to question, angle between two radius vector is \(90^{\circ}\). \(\text {i.e., } \theta+\theta=90^{\circ} \Rightarrow \theta=45^{\circ}\) \(\therefore\) Time taken by the two radius vectors connecting of explosion…
