Question

A shell initially at rest explodes into two pieces of equal mass, then the two pieces will

Options:

A . Be at rest

B . Move with different velocities in different directions

C . Move with the same velocity in opposite directions

D . Move with the same velocity in same direction

Answer: Option C
:
C
According to law of conservation of linear momentum both pieces should possess equal momentum after explosion. As their masses are equal therefore they will possess equal speed in opposite direction.
