In an explosion, a body breaks up into two pieces of unequal masses. In this case which one of the following statements is correct?

An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane two of them go off at right angles to each other the first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 m/s the second part of mass 2kg moves with a speed of 8 m/s and the third aprt flies off with a speed of 4 m/s calculate the mass of third part

Figure shows a smasll sphereical bal of mass m rolling down the loop track. Thebasll is released on the linear portion at a verticla height H from the lowest point. The circular part show has a radius R. a. find the kinetic energy of the ball when it is at a point where the radius makes an angle theta with the horizontal. Find the radial and the tangential accelerations of the cente when the ball is at A. c. find the bnormal force and the frictionasl force acting on the ball if H=60 cm, R=10cm theta=0 and m=70 fg.

Does the acceleration with which a body falls towards the centre of the earth depend on the mass of the body?

An exploision blows a rock into three parts . Two parts go off at right angles to each other . These two are ,1kg first part moving with a velocity of 12ms^(-1) and 2kg second part moving with a velocity of 8 ms^(-1) . If the third part files off with a velocity of 4ms^(-1) . If the third part flies off with a velocity of 4ms^(-1) , its mass would be:
