A shell following a parabolic path explodes somewhere in its flight. The centre of mass of fragements will move in

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`x_(cm)=(m+3m-8)/(2m+4)=0`
`implies4m-8=0`
`implies4m=8`
`impliesm=2kg`
Hint. External forces are zero.

How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming a level terrain? Take g=10m//s^2 ?

Statement I: If a ball projected up obliquely from the ground breaks up into several fragments in its path, the centre of the system of all fragments moves in the same parabolic path compared to initial one till all fragments are in air. Statement II: In the situation of Statement 1, at the instant of breaking, the fragments may be thrown in different directions with different speeds.
