4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
normal
A cannon ball is fired with a velocity $200\, m/sec$ at an angle of $60^o$ with the horizontal. At the highest point of its flight it explodes into $3$ equal fragments, one going vertically upwards with a velocity $100\, m/sec$, the second one falling vertically downwards with a velocity $100\, m/sec$. The third fragment will be moving with a velocity
A$100\, m/s$ in the horizontal direction
B$300\, m/s$ in the horizontal direction
C$300\, m/s$ in a direction making an angle of $60^o$ with the horizontal
D$200\, m/s$ in a direction making an angle of $60^o$ with the horizontal
Solution
$3 m\left(200 \cos 60^{\circ}\right) \hat{i}=(m \times 100) \hat{\jmath}+(m \times 100)(-\hat{j})+m \vec{v}$
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=(300 \hat{\mathrm{i}}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
$300 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ in the horizontal direction.
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=(300 \hat{\mathrm{i}}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
$300 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ in the horizontal direction.
