A body at rest breaks into two pieces of equal masses. The parts will move

A

in same direction

B

along different lines

C

in opposite directions with equal speeds

D

in opposite direction with unequal speeds

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`p-(1)=0`
`therefore` `p_(f) = 0`, i.e, both hte pieces should have equal and opposite momentum.
