$A$ ball of mass $m$ strikes the inclined face of the wedge of mass $M$ normally with speed $v_0$. The wedge is at rest on a rough horizontal surface before the collision. The conservation of momentum is applicable for the event of collision for:
$(i)$ $m$ as system,along $Y'$
$(ii)$ $M$ as system,along $Y'$
$(iii)$ $(M + m)$ as system,along $X$
$(iv)$ $(M + m)$ as system,along $Y$
Which of the following is correct?

  • A
    $(i)$ only
  • B
    $(i)$ and $(ii)$ only
  • C
    $(iii)$ only
  • D
    $(iii)$ and $(iv)$ only

$A$ vessel at rest explodes into three pieces. Two pieces having equal masses $m$ fly off perpendicular to one another with the same velocity $30 \, m/s$. The third piece has three times the mass of each of the other pieces. The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the third piece will be:

$A$ body of mass $1 \,kg$, initially at rest, explodes and breaks into three parts. The masses of the parts are in the ratio $1: 1: 3$. The two pieces of equal mass fly off perpendicular to each other with a speed of $30 \,m/s$ each. The velocity of the heavier part in $m/s$ is
