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 cannon ball is fired with a velocity $200\, m/sec$ at an angle of $60° $ 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
