A shell of mass m is moving horizontally with velocity `v_(0)` and collides with the wedge of mass M just above points A, as shown in the figure. As a consequences, wedge starts to move towards left and the shell returns with a velocity in xy-plance. The principle of conservation of momentum can be applied for A. system (m + M) along any directionB. system (m+M) along verticalC. system (m + M) horizontallyD. None of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - C
In horizontal direction, net force on the system is zero. Therefore, principle of conservation of momentum can be applied for system (m+M) horizontally.
