A body mass of \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\), initially at rest explodes and breaks into three parts. The masses of the parts are in the ratio \(1: 1: 3\). The two pieces of equal mass fly off perpendicular to each other with a speed of \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) each. The velocity of the heavier part in \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) is

  1. A \(10 \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B 6
  3. C 3
  4. D \(6 \sqrt{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10 \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial momentum before explosion is zero. Final momentum after explosion. \( \sqrt{2} \frac{m}{4} \times 30-\frac{3 m}{4} v^{\prime} \) From conservation of momentum Initial momentum \(=\) Final momentum…
