A shell of mass $m$ moving with velocity $ v$ suddenly breaks into $2$ pieces. The part having mass $m/4$ remains stationary. The velocity of the other shell will be
$v$
$2v$
$\frac{3}{4}v$
$\frac{4}{3}v$
A shell of mass $m$ moving with velocity $ v$ suddenly breaks into $2$ pieces. The part having mass $m/4$ remains stationary. The velocity of the other shell will be
According to conservation of momentum
$mv = \left( {\frac{m}{4}} \right)\;{v_1} + \left( {\frac{{3m}}{4}} \right)\;{v_2}$ $⇒$ ${v_2} = \frac{4}{3}v$
