Answer:
5235.84 kg
Explanation:
There is one theorem - whose proof I will never remember without having to drag calculus in there - that says that the variation of momentum is equal to the force applied times the time the application last.
As long as the engine isn't ejecting mass - at this point it's a whole new can of worm - we know the force, we know the variation in speed, time to find the mass. But first, let's convert the variation of speed in meters per second. The ship gains 250 kmh,
;

Answer:
v = 24 m/s, rightwards
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of TBT explosive = 5 kg
It explodes into two pieces.
One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to the left at 36 m/s. Let left be negative and right be positive.
The law of conservation of momentum holds here. Let v be the final speed of the remaining piece. So,

So, the final speed of the remaining piece is 24 m/s and it is in the right direction.
