A bomb at rest explodes into three fragments of equal masses.Two fragments fly off at right angles to each other with velocity 9m/s and 12m/s.Calculate the speed of the third fragment.

Please answer this question.I tried to find out by two ways.By using concept of vectors answer came was 15m/s but by using momentum I got 21m/s.Which one is correct?Or both are wrong?Please provide a full solution and if any of my answer is correct then don't give full solution.

Dear Nitin,

Correct answer is 15 in both cases. use conservation of momentum in x and y direction separatly and find the angle

the 3rd partical makes with axis. Then u can easily substitue in any of the 2 eq. to find out the answer.

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

An object of mass m = 0.25 kg oscillates in a fluid at the end of a vertical spring of spring
constant kH = 85 N/m, see Fig.1. The effect of the fluid resistance is governed by the
damping constant b = 0.07kg/s.
(i) Find the period of the damped oscillation.
(ii) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle?
