An explosion breaks an object into two pieces, one of which has 1.4 times the mass of the other. If 8200 J were released in the explosion, how much kinetic energy did the heavier piece acquire?
What I was initially using was:
Momentumi = Momentumf..
0 = m1v1-1.4m2v2 (x-comp)
v1 = 1.4v2
The thing is I'm just not sure what to do next..am I on the right path?
