A shell fired along a parabolic path explodes into two fragment of equal mass at the top of the trajectory. One of the fragment returns to the point of firing having retraced its original path. If v is the velocity of projectile at highest point, than

A

After the explosion the other fragment has velocity v along +ve x-axis.

B

C

After the explosion the fragments reach the separation 2R between them where R is the range of the projectile.

D

After explosion both the fragments hit the ground simultaneously at t = R/2v.

A mortar fires a shell of mass M which explodes into two pieces of mass M/5 and (4M)/(5) at the top of the trajectory. The smaller mass falls very close to the mortar. In the same time bigger piece lands a distance D from the mortar. The shell would have fallen at a distance R from the mortar if there was no explosion. The value of D is (neglect air resistance)

When an expolsive shell travelling in a parabolic path under the effect of gravity explodes in the mid air, the centre of mass of the fragments will move.

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.

At a certain height a shell at rest explodes into two equal fragments. One of the fragments receives a horizontal velocity u. The time interval after which, the velocity vectors will be inclined at 120^(@) to each other is
