A body of mass 11.0 kg is traveling at 4.3 m/s along the positive x-axis with no external force acting. At a certain instant an internal explosion occurs, splitting the body into two chunks of 5.5 kg mass each. The explosion gives the chunks an additional 16 J of kinetic energy. Neither chunk leaves the line of original motion. Determine the speed and direction of motion of each of the chunks after the explosion.

larger velocity?

smaller velocity?

PLEASE SHOW WORK! A 4 kg body is traveling at 3 m/s with no external force acting on it. At a certain instant an internal explosion occurs, splitting the body into two chunks of 2 kg mass each. The explosion gives the chunks an additional 18 J of kinetic energy. Neither chunk leaves the line of original motion. Determine the speed and direction of motion of each of the chunks after the explosion. Hint: Translational momentum is conserved. speed of...
