$A$ body initially at rest breaks up into two pieces of masses $2 M$ and $3 M$ respectively,together having a total kinetic energy $E$. The piece of mass $2 M$,after breaking up,has a kinetic energy:

  • A
    $\frac{E}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{E}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{3E}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{2E}{5}$

$12 \,kg$ bomb at rest explodes into two pieces of $4 \,kg$ and $8 \,kg$. If the momentum of the $4 \,kg$ piece is $20 \,Ns$, what is the kinetic energy of the $8 \,kg$ piece (in $\,J$)?

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.

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

$A$ bomb moving with velocity $(40 \hat{i} + 50 \hat{j} - 25 \hat{k}) \text{ m/s}$ explodes into two pieces of mass ratio $1:4$. After the explosion,the smaller piece moves away with velocity $(200 \hat{i} + 70 \hat{j} + 15 \hat{k}) \text{ m/s}$. The velocity of the larger piece after the explosion is:
