1. An internal explosion breaks an object, initially at rest, into two pieces, one of which has 1.8 times the mass of the other. If 8800 J were released in the explosion, how much kinetic energy did each piece acquire?

2. A ball A of mass m makes a head-on elastic collision with a second ball B (at rest) and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed equal to one-fourth its original speed. What is the mass of the second ball B?

A ball A of mass m makes a head-on elastic collision with a second ball B (at rest) and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed equal to one-fourth its original speed. What is the mass of the second ball B?

If ball B is at rest at the start, we can apply the following equation for a static collision

where

We solve the equation for and obtain:

Substituting values, we obtain:
