A free body of mass $8\, kg$ is travelling at $2\, meter$ per second in a straight line. At a certain instant, the body splits into two equal parts due to internal explosion which releases $16 \,joules$ of energy. Neither part leaves the original line of motion finally

  • A

    Both parts continue to move in the same direction as that of the original body

  • B

    One part comes to rest and the other moves in the same direction as that of the original body

  • C

    One part comes to rest and the other moves in the direction opposite to that of the original body

  • D

    One part moves in the same direction and the other in the direction opposite to that of the original body

A balloon filled with helium rises against gravity increasing its potential energy. The speed of the balloon also increases as it rises. How do you reconcile this with the law of conservation of mechanical energy ? You can neglect viscous drag of air and assume that density of air is constant.

Two incitned frictionless tracks, one gradual and the other steep meet at A from where two stones are allowed to slide down from rest, one on each track. Will the stones reach the bottom at the same time? Will they reach there with the same speed? Explain.
