A body just droppeed from a tower explodes into two placed of equal mass in mid -air which of the following is not posible?

Options

A. Each part will follow parabolic path
B. Only one part will follow parabolic path
C. Both part move along a verticle line
D. One part reaches the ground earlier than the other

Answer

B

Explanation

If the velocities acquired due to explosions are in vertical direction, then option `C and D` are possible . If one of them possible. If one of them follows parabolic path (or acquires velocity in horizontal direction), them other also has to follow parabolic path (or acquires velocity in horizontal direction to keep the momentum zero in horizontal direction ). Hence, option `B` can never be possible.
