A 100-Kg Shell Is Traveling Horizontally to the Right at 25

question 31

Short Answer

A 10.0-kg shell is traveling horizontally to the right at 25.0 m/s relative to the ground when it explodes into two fragments,one of mass 3.00 kg and the other of mass 7.00 kg.The lighter fragment goes directly forward,and the explosion releases 1.50 × 10³ J of mechanical energy to the fragments.Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the heavier fragment relative to the ground just after the explosion.Ignore the effect of any ejected gases.
