A body of mass 14 kg initially at rest explodes and breaks into three fragments of masses in the ratio \(2:2:3\). The two pieces of equal masses fly off perpendicular to each other with a speed of \(18~m/s\) each. The velocity of the heavier fragment is ___________ \(m/s\).
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(12\sqrt{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Apply C.O.M
\(M_{1}V_{1}+M_{2}V_{2}+M_{3}V_{3}=0\)
\(2(-18i)+2(-18j)+3V_{3}=0\)
\(V_{3}=12i+12j\)
\(|V_{3}|=12\sqrt{2}m/s\)
