An object is kept at rest . Object explodes in two parts of unequal masses .

A

Both parts move in the same direction

B

Both parts move in same direction but along different lines .

C

Both parts move in opposite directions with same speed .

D

Both parts move in opposite directions with different speed .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
According to conservation of linear momentum we can understand that both the parts must move in opposite directions with same linear momentum so that total linear momentum remains zero . Since masses are different speeds so that their linear momenta may remain equal .
