Answer:

The moon is actually quite dim.

Explanation:

compared to other astronomical bodies. The moon only seems bright in the night sky because it is so close to the earth and because the trees, houses, and fields around you are so dark at night. In fact, the moon is one of the least reflective objects in the solar system.

Answer:

$v_2=-133.17m/s$ , the minus meaning west.

Explanation:

We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before ( $p_i$ ) and after ( $p_f$ ) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.

Before the explosion we have $p_i=m_iv_i=Mv_i$ .

After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so $p_f=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$ .

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:

$Mv_i=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$
