Question

A nucleus moving with a velocity `vec(n)` emits an `prop`-particle . Let the velocity of the `prop`-particle and the remaining nucleus be `vec(n_1) `and `vec(n_2)` and their masses be `m_1` and `m_2` then


Options:
A .  `vec(n), vec(n_1) and vec(n_2)` must be parallel to each oher
B .  none of the two `vec(n), vec(n_1), vec(n_2)` should be parallel to each other
C .  `vec(n_1) + vec(n_2)` must be parallel to` vec(n)`
D .  `m_1 vec(n_1) + vec(n_2)` must be parallel to `vec(n)`
Answer: Option D

Since , no external force is present. So momentum conservation principle is completely applicable

`:.`        `m vec(n) = m_1 vec(n_1) + m_2 vec(n_2)`

or `(m_1 + m_2) vec(n) = m_1 vec(n_1) + m_2 vec(n_2)`

Hence , (d) is correct .
