an object initially at rest explodes in two pieces
the first piece has a mass 8 times greater than the mass of the second piece.
If this heavier one slides nine meters before coming to a halt, what is the distance by which the other piece slides?

(Same kinetic coefficients for each piece)

A vessel at rest explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two pieces, having equal mass, fly off perpendicular to one another with the same speed of 45m/s. One goes along the negative x-axis and the other along the negative y-axis. The third piece has three times the mass of each other piece. What are the direction and magnitude of its velocity immediately after the explosion? 1)What is the angle with respect to the x-axis? 2)What is the magnitude of its velocity?

In the figure here, a stationary block explodes into two pieces L and R that slide across a frictionless floor and then into regions with friction, where they stop. Piece L, with a mass of 3.8 kg, encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction μL = 0.56 and slides to a stop in distance dL = 0.48 m. Piece R encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction μR = 0.56 and slides to a stop in distance dR = 0.31 m. What...

A tank, at rest at the origin of an x-y coordinate system, explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, mass of m, moves with the speed v in the negative x- direction, and a second piece, with mass m/2, moves with a speed vd at an angle of 30 degrees (down or -yaxis) with respect to the +x axis. The third piece with mass m/2 moves with speed vu at an angle (up or +y axis) of...
