A bomb at rest explodes into a large number of tiny fragments. The total momentum of all the fragments –

A is zero Correct Incorrect

B depends on the total mass of all the fragments Correct Incorrect

C depends on the speeds of various fragments Correct Incorrect

D is infinity Correct Incorrect

Detailed Solution

In an explosion, an internal impulse acts in order to propel the parts of a system (often a single object) into a variety of directions. After the explosion, the individual parts of the system (that is often a collection of fragments from the original object) have momentum.
