A bomb of mass 34kg, at rest is detonated. The explosion splits the bomb into two pieces, one of mass 13kg, which is thrown to the left at a velocity of 28 m/s. What is the velocity of the second piece?
In a collision where no external forces act linear momentum is conserved.Convention: Right + left -0=-13x28 + 21xVV=17.33 kg m/s to the right
