$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along the $x$-axis with a speed $v_0$. Suddenly,a part of its mass,$m/3$,breaks off and moves parallel to the $y$-axis with a speed $2v_0$. Find the velocity of the remaining part in terms of unit vectors.

  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}v_0 \hat{i} + \frac{1}{2}v_0 \hat{j}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}v_0 \hat{i} + v_0 \hat{j}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}v_0 \hat{i} - v_0 \hat{j}$
  • D
    $v_0 \hat{i} - v_0 \hat{j}$

An isolated rail car of mass $M$ is moving along a straight,frictionless track at an initial speed $v_0$. The car is passing under a bridge when a crate filled with $N$ bowling balls,each of mass $m$,is dropped from the bridge into the bed of the rail car. The crate splits open and the bowling balls bounce around inside the rail car,but none of them fall out. Is the momentum of the rail car $+$ bowling balls system conserved in this collision?
