Question 20

Item 20 A giant "egg" explodes as part of a fireworks display. The egg is at rest before the explosion, and after the explosion, it breaks into two pieces, with piece B moving in the positive x direction. The masses of both pieces are indicated in (Figure 1), shown traveling in opposite directions. Figure A B 10 kg 30 kgPart A What is the magnitude of the momentum IpAl of piece A before the explosion? Express your answer numerically in kilogram meters per second. > View Available Hint(s) AEd PAil = kg . m/s SubmitPart B During the explosion, is the magnitude of the force of piece A on piece B greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the force of piece B on piece A? > View Available Hint(s) O greater than O less than O equal to O cannot be determined SubmitPart C The component of the momentum of piece B, PBx,f, is measured to be +500 kg . m/s after the explosion. Find the component of the momentum pax.f of piece A after the explosion. Enter your answer numerically in kilogram meters per second. > View Available Hint(s) VO AEd O PAX,f= kg . m/s Submit
