(D) /kjkry ds lkis{k O;fDr B }kjk r; nwjh 600 cm gAS
Ans. (B,C)
Sol. Since external force on the system (A + B + plank) is horizontal direction is zero therefor centre of
mass of the system remain at rest.
Let displacement of plank is x, than
60(4 – x) – 50(4 + x) = 90°x
40 = 200x
x = 0.2 m

2. In gravity free region a body of mass 1 kg moving on the x-axis, suddenly explodes into fragments
of mass 1/8 kg and 7/8 kg. An instant later, the smaller fragment is 0.14 m above the x-axis. The
position of the heavier fragment is :-
(A) 0.02 m above x-axis. (B) 0.02 m below x-axis
(C) 0.14 m below x-axis (D) 0.14 m above x-axis

3. A high-velocity missile, travelling in a horizontal line with a kinetic energy of 3.0 Giga- Joules (GJ),
explodes in flight and breaks into two pieces A and B of equal mass. One of these pieces (A) flies off in
a straight line perpendicular to the original direction in which the missile was moving and its kinetic
energy is found to be 2.0 GJ. If gravity can be neglected for such high-velocity projectiles, it follows that
the other piece (B) :-
(A) Flew off in a direction at an angle 30º with the original direction of motion of missile.
(B) Energy released in explosion is 10 GJ
(C) The energy of piece B is 10 GJ
(D) The given situation is not possible.
