AIPMT PRELIMS 2001 Physics Conservation of Momentum MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

A 1 kg stationary bomb is exploded in three parts having mass 1 : 1 : 3 respectively. Parts having same mass move in perpendicular direction with velocity 30 ms⁻¹, then the velocity of bigger part will be:

A

10√2 ms⁻¹

B

10/√2 ms⁻¹

C

15√2 ms⁻¹

D

15/√2 ms⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using conservation of momentum, the velocity of the larger part can be calculated by balancing the momentum of the smaller parts moving perpendicularly.
