A particle of mass M which is at rest splits up into two. If the mass and velocity of one of the particles are m and v respectively, calculate the velocity of the second particle
-
A.
(frac{mv}{M}) -
B.
(frac{Mv}{M – m}) -
C.
(frac{mv}{M + m}) -
D.
(frac{mv}{M – m})
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
(M – m)V2 = mv
V2 = (frac{mv}{M – m})
