A shell is fired from a cannon with velocity $v m/sec$ at an angle $\theta $ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon and the speed in $m/sec $ of the other piece immediately after the explosion is

A buggy of mass $100\, kg$ is free to move on a frictionless horizontal track. Two men, each of mass $50\, kg$, are standing on the buggy, which is initially stationary. The men jump off the buggy with velocity $=10m/s$ relative to the buggy. In one situation, the men jump one after the other. In another situation, the men jump simultaneously. What is the ratio of the recoil velocities of the buggy in two cases?
