A bomb of 1 kg is thrown vertically up with speed 100 m/s. After 5 seconds, it explodes into two parts. One of mass 400 gm goes down with speed 25 m/s. What will happen to the other part just afterexplosion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

After 5 sec, velocity of bomb
v = u - gt `= 100-10xx5=50 m//s`
`therefore` initial momentum before explosion
`= 1xx50 kg ms^(-1)`
From momentum conservation,
`1xx50=-0.4xx25+0.6 v.`
`therefore v.=100 m//s`, upwards.
