JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.1 newtons laws of motion

A body of mass \(M\) at rest explodes into three pieces, in the ratio of masses \(1: 1: 2\). Two smaller pieces fly off perpendicular to each other with velocities of \(30 \,ms ^{-1}\) and \(40 \,ms ^{-1}\) respectively. The velocity of the third piece will be ............... \(\,ms ^{-1}\)

  1. A \(15\)
  2. B \(25\)
  3. C \(35\)
  4. D \(50\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of pieces by \(\frac{ M }{4}, \frac{ M }{4}, \frac{ M }{2}\) conserving momentum \(\overrightarrow{ P }_{1}+\overrightarrow{ P }_{2}+\overrightarrow{ P }_{3}=0\) \(\overline{ P }_{3}=-\left(\overline{ P }_{1}+\overline{ P }_{2}\right)\) As…
