4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
easy

A shell of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ suddenly breaks into $2$ pieces. The part having mass $m/3$ remains stationary. The velocity of other part will be

A$\frac{2}{3}\,v$
B$\frac{7}{5}\,v$
C$\frac{3}{2}\,v$
Dnone of these

Solution

According to momentum conservation.
$mv = m / 3$ $ \times \,0 + \frac{{2m}}{3}\,v'$
$mv = \frac{{2m}}{3}\,v'\,\,$
${v' = \frac{3}{2}v}$
