Answer:
, the minus meaning west.
Explanation:
We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before (
) and after (
) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.
Before the explosion we have
.
After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so
.
These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.
Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:

Which means (since we want
and
):

So for our values we have:

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.
For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
Force equals mass times acceleration. Or:
F=ma
Plug it in:
5=10a
5/10=(10a)/10
.5m/s²=a
