4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
normal
A bomb of mass $1 \,kg$ initially at rest, explodes and breaks into three fragments of masses in the ratio $1: 1: 3$. The two pieces of equal mass fly off perpendicular to each other with a speed $15 \,m / s$ each. The speed of heavier fragment is ........... $m / s$
A
$5$
B
$15$
C
$45$
D
$5 \sqrt{2}$
Solution

(d)
Momentum of the system will be conserved before explosion and after explosion
Using conservation of momentum equation
$\frac{3}{5} V=\frac{15}{5} \sqrt{2}$
$V=5 \sqrt{2} \,m / s$
