$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along the $x$-axis with a speed $v_0$. Suddenly,a part of its mass,$m/3$,breaks off and moves parallel to the $y$-axis with a speed $2v_0$. Find the velocity of the remaining part in terms of unit vectors.

  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}v_0 \hat{i} + \frac{1}{2}v_0 \hat{j}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}v_0 \hat{i} + v_0 \hat{j}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}v_0 \hat{i} - v_0 \hat{j}$
  • D
    $v_0 \hat{i} - v_0 \hat{j}$

$A$ body is moving with a velocity $v$ and breaks up into two equal parts. One of the parts retraces its path with velocity $v$. Then the velocity of the other part is:

$A$ ball of mass $m = 60 \text{ g}$ is shot with speed $v_0 = 22 \text{ m/s}$ into the barrel of a spring gun of mass $M = 240 \text{ g}$,which is initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. The speed of the spring gun after the ball stops relative to the barrel is:
