Conservation of linear momentum problem

[QUOTE="CWatters, post: 4514399, member: 423469"] That's not correct. You appear to be assuming that after the explosion the large bit is moving five times faster than the small bit. That's not what the problem states. I wouldn't recommend that. I would just define V[SUB]i[/SUB] is the initial velocity V[SUB]small[/SUB] as the new velocity of the small bit V[SUB]large[/SUB] as the new velocity of the large bit So with that in mind it should be something like 5mV[SUB]i[/SUB] = 2mV[SUB]small[/SUB] + 3mV[SUB]large[/SUB] I'll let you figure out the other equation to write. Sorry for the edits to my reply. [/QUOTE]
