MCQ
A body $A$ of mass $M$ while falling vertically downwards under gravity breaks into two parts; a body $B$ of mass $\frac{2}{3} M$. The centre of mass of bodies $B$ and $C$ taken together shifts compared to that of body $A$ towards
  • A
    body $C$
  • B
    body $B$
  • C
    depends on height of breaking
  • does not shift

Answer

Correct option: D.
does not shift
d
Since, the acceleration of centre of mass in both the cases is same equal to $g$. So the centre of mass of the bodies $B$ and $C$ taken together does not shift compared to that of body $A$.
