A shell is fired from a cannon with a velocity `v (m//sec.)` at an angle `theta` with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon and the speed (in `m//sec.`) of the other piece immediately after the explosion is

A

`3vcostheta`

B

`2vcostheta`

C

`(3)/(2)vcostheta`

D

`sqrt((3)/(2))vcostheta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
COLM : `mv cos theta = (m)/(2) (-v cos theta) + (m)/(2)`
`rArr (3mv cos theta)/(2) = (m)/(2) rArr v = 3v cos theta`

A particle is projected from a point P with a velocity v at an angle theta with horizontal. At a certain point Q it moves at right angles to its initial direction. Then

A bullet of mass M is fired with a velocity 50m//s at an angle with the horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory, it collides head-on with a bob of mass 3M suspended by a massless string of length 10//3 metres and gets embeded in the bob. After the collision, the string moves through an angle of 120^@ . Find (i) the angle theta , (ii) the vertical and horizontal coordinates of the initial position of the bob with respect to the point of firing of the bullet. Take g=10 m//s^2

An object of mass 5 kg is projecte with a velocity of 20ms^(-1) at an angle of 60^(@) to the horizontal. At the highest point of its path , the projectile explodes and breaks up into two fragments of masses 1kg and 4 kg. The fragments separate horizontally after the explosion, which releases internal energy such that K.E. of the system at the highest point is doubled. Calculate the separation betweent the two fragments when they reach the ground.

A particle of mass m is projected from the ground with an initial speed u_0 at an angle alpha with the horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory, it makes a completely inelastic collision with another identical particle, which was thrown vertically upward from the ground with the same initial speed u_0. The angle that the composite system makes with the horizontal immediately after the collision is

A car P is moving with a uniform speed 5sqrt3 m//s towards a carriage of mass 9 kg at rest kept on the rails at a point B as shown in figure. The height AC is 120 m. Cannon balls of 1 kg are fired from the car with an initial velocity 100m//s at an angle 30^@ with the horizontal. The first cannon hall hits the stationary carriage after a time t_0 and sticks to it. Determine t_0 . At t_0 , the second cannon ball is fired. Assume that the resistive force between the rails and the carriage is constant and ignore the vertical motion of the carriage throughout. If the second ball also hits and sticks to the carriage, what will be the horizontal velocity of the carriage just after the second impact?

A particle is ejected from the tube at A with a velocity V at an angle theta with the verticle y-axis at a height h above the ground as shown. A strong horizontal wind gives the particle a constant horizontal acceleration a in the positive x-direction. If the particle strikes the ground at a point directly under its released position and the downward y-acceleration is taken as g then find h.

A shell at rest on a smootyh horizontal surface explodes into two fragments of masses m_(1) and m_(2) . If just after explosion, m_(1) move with speed u, then work done by internal forces during explosion is :-
