A shell initially at rest explodes into two pieces of equal mass, then the two pieces will

A

Be at rest

B

Move with different velocities in different directions

C

Move with the same velocity in opposite directions

D

Move with the same velocity in same direction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to law of conservation of linear momentum both pieces should possess equal momentum after explosion. As their masses are equal therefore they will possess equal speed in opposite direction
