The interaction between two like-charged objects is repulsive. ... Positively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other; and negatively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other.
The pet store would be the reference point because it is where he started and it will not move. Hope this helped.
Answer:
Explanation:
The momentum of the first piece = m v =- m x 31 i kg m/s in - x direction direction
The momentum of the second piece = -m x 31 j kg m /s in Y - direction
Total momentum = - 31 m( i + j )
To conserve momentum , the third piece must have momentum equal to this
and opposite to it
So momentum of the third piece = 3m x V = 31 m ( i +j )
V = 31/3 ( i + j ) =
Magnitude of velocity V = √2 x 31/ 3 = 14.6 m / s
Its direction will be towards the vector i + j ie 45° from x - axis in positive direction
