Assertion: If a projectile explodes in mid air, linear momentum of center of mass of different fragments remains constant.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Path of center of mass remains unchanged because during explosion no external force acts on COM.
