Kinetic energy — UPSC CSE 2012 Physics PYQ

Buy PYQ Solution Manual →

A projectile of mass M explodes, while in flight, into three fragments. One fragment of mass m_1=M/2 travels in the original direction of the projectile. Another fragment of mass m_2=M/6 travels in the opposite direction and the third fragment of mass m_3=M/3 comes to rest. The energy E, released in the explosion, is 5 times the kinetic energy of the projectile at explosion. What are the velocities of the fragments?
