A 3.4 kg mess kit sliding on a frictionless surface explodes into two 1.7 kg parts, one moving at 2.7 m/s, due north, and the other at 7.8 m/s, 15° north of east. What is the original speed of the mess kit?
As we know that
Momentum must be conserved.
Magnitude of piece A north = (1.7 kg)(2.7 m/s) = 4.59 kg m/s
Magnitude of piece A east = 0 kg m/s since travelling north.
Magnitude of piece B north = (1.7 kg)(7.8 m/s)sin15 = 3.431940538
kg m/s
Magnitude of piece B east = (1.7 kg)(7.8 m/s)cos15 = 12.80817646 kg
m/s
Total momentum north = 8.021940538 kg m/s
Total momentum east = 12.80817646 kg m/s.
Momentum must be conserved, so the total momentum before the
explosion must be the same too.
Using Pythagoras's Theorem, overall magnitude
= √[12.80817646² + 8.021940²]
= 15.11293864 kg m/s. Dividing by the mass of the original object
(3.4 kg) = 4.444981952 m/s.

1- A block slides along a frictionless surface at 2.4 m/s. A second 3.5-kg block, sliding at a faster 7.5 m/s, collides with the first from behind and sticks to it. The final velocity of the combined blocks is 4.6 m/s. What was the mass of the first block? 2-A 15 g ball of clay traveling west at 4 m/s collides with a 50 g ball of clay traveling 30° north of east at 3.5 m/s. What is the speed...
