Still doesn't seem correct. What values of ##v_1## and ##v_2## did you get?emily081715 said:

Click For Summary
An 8.5-kg object sliding at 2.34 m/s splits into two equal chunks due to an internal explosion, adding 12 J of kinetic energy. The average accelerations of the chunks during the explosion are calculated using conservation of momentum and kinetic energy principles. Initial momentum is given by the mass times initial velocity, while final velocities are derived from the equations involving kinetic energy and momentum conservation. The correct final velocities are essential for determining the average accelerations, which should have equal magnitudes and opposite signs. The calculations are complex, requiring careful manipulation of equations to arrive at accurate results.
