$A$ particle of mass $4 M$ which is initially at rest explodes into three pieces of masses $M, M$ and $2 M$. The equal masses move along $X$ and $Y$-axes with velocities $4 \ m s^{-1}$ and $6 \ m s^{-1}$ respectively. The magnitude of the velocity of the heavier mass is

  • A
    $\sqrt{17} \ m s^{-1}$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{13} \ m s^{-1}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{13} \ m s^{-1}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2} \ m s^{-1}$

An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass $1 \, kg$ moves with a speed of $12 \, m s^{-1}$ and the second part of mass $2 \, kg$ moves with $8 \, m s^{-1}$ speed. If the third part flies off with $4 \, m s^{-1}$ speed,then its mass is ......... $kg$.

For a system to follow the law of conservation of linear momentum during a collision, the condition is:
$(1)$ Total external force acting on the system is zero.
$(2)$ Total external force acting on the system is finite and the time of collision is negligible.
$(3)$ Total internal force acting on the system is zero.
