A 5 kg stationary bomb is exploded in three parts having masses in the ratio 1 : 1: 3. Parts having same mass move in perpendicuiar directions with velocity 39 m/s, then the velocity of bigger part will be

A

`(10sqrt2)/3`m/s

B

`(10)/sqrt2`m/s

C

`13sqrt2`m/s

D

`15sqrt2m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Momentum is conserved in the event of explosion `therefore` `p^(2/3) = p^(2/1) + p^(2/2)`
Let the masses of the three parts be m, m and 3m.
`(3mv_3)^2 = (m xx39)^2 rArr 39sqrt2 = 3v_3, v_3 = 13sqrt2 m//s`
