A body $$A$$ of mass $$M$$ while falling vertically downloads under gravity breaks into two-parts; a body $$B$$ of mass $${1 \over 3}$$ $$M$$ and a body $$C$$ of mass $${2 \over 3}$$ $$M.$$ The center of mass of bodies $$B$$ and $$C$$ taken together shifts compared to that of bodies $$B$$ and $$C$$ taken together shifts compared to that of body $$A$$ towards

A mass $$'m'$$ moves with a velocity $$'v'$$ and collides inelastically with another identical mass. After collision the $${1^{st}}$$ mass moves with velocity $${v \over {\sqrt 3 }}$$ in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. Find the speed of the $${2^{nd}}$$ mass after collision.

A machine gun fires a bullet of mass $$40$$ $$g$$ with a velocity $$1200m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ The man holding it can exert a maximum force of $$144$$ $$N$$ on the gun. How many bullets can he fire per second at the most?
