A particle of mass M which is at rest splits up into two. If the mass and velocity of one of the particles are m and v respectively, calculate the velocity of the second particle

A.

\(\frac{mv}{M}\)

B.

\(\frac{Mv}{M - m}\)

C.

\(\frac{mv}{M + m}\)

D.

\(\frac{mv}{M - m}\)

Correct answer is D

(M - m)V2 = mv

V2 = \(\frac{mv}{M - m}\)
