A(n) 7.7-kg object is sliding across the ice at 2.34 m/s in the positive x direction. An internal explosion occurs, splitting th
e object into two equal chunks and adding 17 J of kinetic energy to system. The explosive separation takes place over a 0.16-s time interval. Assume that the one of the chunks after explosion moves in the positive x direction. The x component of the average acceleration of this chunk during the explosion is afrontx, the x component fo the average acceleration of the other chunk during the explosion is arearx. What are the x-components of the average accelerations of the two chunks during the explosion?
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If the student doesn't push, nothing moves, is one student pushes, both move which is an example of newtons third law.
