A particle of mass `2m` is projected at an angle of `45^@` with horizontal with a velocity of `20sqrt2m//s`. After `1s` explosion takes place and the particle is broken into two equal pieces. As a result of explosion one part comes to rest. Find the maximum height attained by the other part. Take `g=10m//s^2`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the trajectory of the particle before and after the explosion, applying the principles of projectile motion and conservation of momentum. ### Step 1: Analyze the initial conditions The particle of mass `2m` is projected at an angle of `45°` with a velocity of `20√2 m/s`. We need to find the initial horizontal (vx) and vertical (vy) components of the velocity. **Calculation:** - Horizontal component, \( v_{x} = v \cdot \cos(45°) = 20\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 20 \, m/s \) - Vertical component, \( v_{y} = v \cdot \sin(45°) = 20\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 20 \, m/s \) ### Step 2: Determine the position of the particle after 1 second After 1 second, we can find the vertical position (height) of the particle using the formula for vertical motion. **Calculation:** - The vertical position after 1 second can be calculated using the formula: \[ h = v_{y} \cdot t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] Substituting \( v_{y} = 20 \, m/s \), \( g = 10 \, m/s^2 \), and \( t = 1 \, s \): \[ h = 20 \cdot 1 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot (1)^2 = 20 - 5 = 15 \, m \] ### Step 3: Apply conservation of momentum during the explosion After 1 second, the particle explodes into two equal masses of `m`. One part comes to rest, and we need to find the velocity of the other part after the explosion. **Calculation:** - Let the velocity of the moving part after the explosion be \( v' \). - By conservation of momentum: \[ \text{Initial momentum} = \text{Final momentum} \] Initial momentum (just before explosion): \[ p_{initial} = 2m \cdot (20i + 20j) = 40mi + 40mj \] Final momentum (after explosion): \[ p_{final} = m \cdot 0 + m \cdot v' = mv' \] Since one part is at rest, we can write: \[ 40mi + 40mj = mv' \implies v' = (40i + 40j) \] ### Step 4: Find the vertical component of the velocity after the explosion The vertical component of the velocity of the moving part after the explosion is \( v'_{y} = 20 \, m/s \). ### Step 5: Calculate the maximum height attained by the moving part To find the maximum height attained by the moving part, we can use the formula for maximum height in projectile motion: \[ H = \frac{v'_{y}^2}{2g} \] Substituting \( v'_{y} = 20 \, m/s \) and \( g = 10 \, m/s^2 \): \[ H = \frac{(20)^2}{2 \cdot 10} = \frac{400}{20} = 20 \, m \] ### Final Answer The maximum height attained by the other part after the explosion is **20 meters**. ---
