$A$ shell is fired from a cannon with a velocity $V$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path,it explodes into two pieces of equal masses. One of the pieces comes to rest. The speed of the other piece immediately after the explosion is

  • A
    $3V \cos \theta$
  • B
    $2V \cos \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2} V \cos \theta$
  • D
    $V \cos \theta$

An object of mass $2m$ is projected with a speed of $100 \ m/s$ at an angle $\theta = \sin^{-1}(3/5)$ to the horizontal. At the highest point,the object breaks into two pieces of same mass $m$ and the first one comes to rest. The distance between the point of projection and the point of landing of the second piece (in metres) is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.
