A body of mass 'M' moving with velocity 'V' explodes into two equal parts. If one part comes to rest and the other part moves with velocity ' \(\mathrm{v}_{0}\) ', what would be the value of \(^{\prime} \mathrm{V}_{0}\) '?

  1. A V
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(4 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

conservation of linear momentum

\(\begin{aligned} \text { initial } &=\text { final } \\ \text { MV } &=\frac{m}{2}(0)+\frac{m}{2}(u) \\ M V &=\frac{M}{2} u \\ u &=2 v \end{aligned}\)
