A bomb moving with velocity \((40 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+50 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-25 \hat{\mathbf{k}}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) explodes into two pieces of mass ratio \(1: 4\). After explosion the smaller piece moves away with velocity \((200 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+70 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+15 \hat{\mathbf{k}}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The velocity of larger piece after explosion is

  1. A \(45 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-35 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\)
  2. B \(45 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-35 \hat{\mathbf{j}}\)
  3. C \(45 \hat{\mathbf{k}}-35 \hat{\mathbf{j}}\)
  4. D \(-35 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+45 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(45 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-35 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From conservation of linear momentum \(5 m(40 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+50 \mathbf{j}-25 \hat{\mathbf{k}})\) \(=m(200 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+70 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+15 \hat{\mathbf{k}})+4 m(x \hat{\mathbf{i}}+y \hat{\mathbf{j}}+z \hat{\mathbf{k}})\)…
