$A$ body of mass $M$ at rest explodes into three pieces,in the ratio of masses $1: 1: 2$. Two smaller pieces fly off perpendicular to each other with velocities of $30 \, m/s$ and $40 \, m/s$ respectively. The velocity of the third piece will be ............... $\, m/s$.

$10m$ is the total mass of a cannon that includes all shells. Initially, the cannon is moving with a velocity of $10 \ m/s$ along a horizontal frictionless path. If the cannon fires $n$ shells of mass $m$ in the direction of motion of the cannon one by one with velocity $u$ with respect to the ground, which of the following statements is correct?
