$A$ shell is fired from a cannon with a velocity $v$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point of its path,it explodes into two pieces of equal masses. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon. The speed of the other piece immediately after the explosion is

  • A
    $3v \cos \theta$
  • B
    $2v \cos \theta$
  • C
    $(3/2)v \cos \theta$
  • D
    $(\sqrt{3}/2)v \cos \theta$
