Two-Dimensional Momentum Conservation In An Explosion
A 2.0 kg object is moving at 6.0 m/s when it explodes into two fragments. One fragment, with a mass of 0.5 kg, moves at 8.0 m/s in a direction perpendicular to the object’s original velocity. What is the velocity of the second fragment?
A
6.0 m/s at 45° from the original direction
B
12 m/s along the original direction
C
8.2 m/s at 21° from the original direction
D
10 m/s at 14° from the original direction
