Three particles of masses $10\;g, 20\;g$ and $40\;g$ are moving with velocities $10\hat{i}, 10\hat{j}$ and $10\hat{k}\;m/s$ respectively. If due to some mutual interaction,the first particle comes to rest and the velocity of the second particle becomes $(3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j})\;m/s$,then the velocity of the third particle is

Why is the law of conservation of linear momentum considered fundamental and universal?

Neglecting friction,if a person sitting at the back of a motorcycle moving on a straight path falls off while the motorcycle is in motion,will the velocity of the motorcycle increase or decrease? Why?

$A$ bomb of mass $30 \, kg$ at rest explodes into two pieces of masses $18 \, kg$ and $12 \, kg$. The velocity of the $18 \, kg$ mass is $6 \, m/s$. The kinetic energy of the other mass is ....... $J$.
