m1 + m2 = 10
By the conervation of momentum we have
mV = m1u1 + m2u2
10*0 = m1*5 + (10-m1)*(-2)
m1 = 20/7 = 2.857 = 2.9 kg
so option c) 2.9 kg is the correct answer

An object with total mass mtotal = 6.4 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into two pieces. The two pieces, after the explosion, have masses of m and 3m. During the explosion, the pieces are given a total energy of E = 45 J. What is the speed of the smaller piece after the collision? What is the speed of the larger piece after the collision? If the explosion lasted for a time t = 0.029 s, what...
An object with total mass mtotal = 16.1 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.6 kg moves up and to the left at an angle of θ1 = 22° above the –x axis with a speed of v1 = 25 m/s. A second piece with mass m2 = 5.1 kg moves down and to the right an angle of θ2 = 27° to the right of the -y axis...

An object with a mass of 1.25 kg is initially at rest. There is a net force acting on the object F(t) = [25.0N – (6.00 N/s2)t?]î. This object will start moving to the right, and after a while it will move to the left. What is the speed of the object when it passes its original position moving to the left?
The object shown is initially at rest. At t = 0 the object explodes into 3 pieces of equal mass as shown. The angles are 0 = 29° and 0 = 38°. Take upward and rightward as the positive directions. Part 1: Find the velocity components of the piece on the right. Vx= Vy= Part 2: If the explosion lasted for 0.01 seconds, what is the average force experienced by the piece on the right? Take the mass to be...
Challenge Problem: Momentum and Kinetic Energy An explosion causes an object, initially at rest, to break into two pieces. One of these pieces has twice as much kinetic energy as the other. What is the ratio of their masses? Which one has the larger mass? Is it the one with the larger kinetic energy, or the one with the smaller kinetic energy?
One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 24 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 2.9 and 7.9 kg Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is...
An object of mass m, initially moving at 6.44 along the x-axis, explodes into two pieces. The first piece, 83.6 percent of the mass, moves along the negative x-axis at 7.63 m/s. Find the speed, in m/s, of the other piece right after the explosion.
