A shell of mass 10kg flying horizontally with a velocity of 36kmph explodes in air into two fragments . The larger fragment has a velocity of 25ms -1 and directed in the same direction as the initial velocity of the shell. The smaller fragment has a velocity of 12.5ms -2 in the opposite direction . find the masses of the fragments…………………….

Dear student,

Apply conservation of momentum

m1u1=m1v1+m2v2

Apply conservation of energy

1/2mu1^2=1/2m1v1^2+1/2m2v2^2
