It Will To The Exception That It Will Take Over 50 Amps To Kick The Breaker. You Will Have Two Circuits Protected By A Double Pole Breaker. You Could Remove The Strap On The Breaker That Holds The Two Together Giving You 25 Amps Per Circuit. ie One Breaker For The Black Wire And One For The Red Wire. Good Luck No, you will need to remove the double-pole breaker and install a separate breaker for each circuit, preferably no more than 20 A. The neutral and bare grounding wire can serve both circuits.

Q: 240V drop black red white bare on a 50A CB installed on the main power panel you want to split ths into two separate 120V circuits using the white as neutral for both will the 50A cb function normally?

Not normally. An elaboration of what circuits are in the conduit and what type of conduit it is would be useful, though, and necessary to give a definitive answer.

Can one single pole switch be used to activate two separate motors on separate circuits?

Basically, No. For them to be on separate circuits, they could not be switched on one pole. If you could, they would be on the same circuit. If you joined the wires from both circuits in this way, you would circumvent the purpose of the circuit breaker, violate code, and create a fire hazard. On the other hand, it could possibly be done using a couple relays but that is not a simple solution either. Also, depending on what exactly you are doing, a sub-panel for both circuits could be installed off the main breaker and basically create two "sub" circuits. you would have to make sure they are rated correctly. Please consult a Electrician with more detail about what you are trying to do before attempting anything. <<>> If you could substitute the single pole switch for a double pole switch this would solve your problem. The throw of the switch would cause your two circuits to become energized.
