$A$ spacecraft of mass $M$ is moving with velocity $V$ and suddenly explodes into two pieces. $A$ part of it of mass $m$ comes to rest. The velocity of the other part will be:

  • A
    $\frac{MV}{M - m}$
  • B
    $\frac{MV}{M + m}$
  • C
    $\frac{mV}{M - m}$
  • D
    $\frac{(M + m)V}{m}$

$A$ shell at rest at the origin explodes into three fragments of masses $1 \ kg$,$2 \ kg$,and $m \ kg$. The $1 \ kg$ and $2 \ kg$ pieces fly off with speeds of $5 \ m/s$ along the $x$-axis and $6 \ m/s$ along the $y$-axis,respectively. If the $m \ kg$ piece flies off with a speed of $6.5 \ m/s$,the total mass of the shell must be ......... $kg$.

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. What is the average speed of the rail car $+$ bowling balls system some time after the collision?
