Question
Consider a box that explodes into two pieces while moving to the right along an x-axis. If one
piece, with mass m1, ends up moving to the right after the explosion, then as shown in the
figure below, the second piece, with mass m2, could end up (a) moving to the right, (b) moving
to the left, or (c) at rest. Rank those three possibilities according to the magnitude of ví,
greatest first.
