An initially stationary device lying on a frictionless floor explodes into two pieces and slides across the floor. One piece is moving in positive x-direction then other piece is moving inA. positive y- directionB. negative y-directionC. negative x-directionD. at angle from x-direction

Answer» Correct Answer - C
( c) From law of conservation of momentum,
`p_(i)=p_(f)`
and initial momentum, `p_(i)=mu=m(0)=0`
`therefore p_(f)` should also be zero.
Hence, other piece will move in negative x-direction.
