A cannon shell, moving along a straight-line, bursts into two parts. Just after the burst, one part moves with momentum , making an angle with the original line of motion. The minimum momentum of the other part of the shell just after the burst is,



Important Questions on Center of Mass
A man and a plank of the same mass are moving together with a velocity along the positive -axis. At some instant of time, the man jumps along the negative axis with a velocity with respect to ground. Then, the speed of the plank after the jump is,



Two small spheres of equal mass are heading towards each other with equal speeds, undergo a head-on collision (no external force acts on the system of two spheres). Then which of the following statement is correct?


Two masses and are placed in a fixed horizontal circular smooth hollow tube as shown. The mass is moving with speed and the mass is stationary. After their first collision, the time elapsed for next collision is (Coefficient of restitution is, )

A particle moves with a speed of in a frictionless circular fixed horizontal pipe of radius and strikes the particle of double the mass that of . The coefficient of restitution is and the particle starts its journey at . The time at which the second collision occurs is
