A spaceship of mass 2.0 106 kg is cruising at a speed of 5.0 106 m/s when the antimatter reactor fails, blowing the ship into three pieces. One section, having a mass of 5.0 105 kg, is blown straight backward with a speed of 2.0 106 m/s. A second piece, with mass 8.0 105 kg, continues forward at 1.0 106 m/s. What are the direction and speed of the third piece?
A ball of mass m and another ball of mass 3m are placed inside a smooth metal tube with a massless spring compressed between them. When the spring is released, the heavier ball flies out of one end of the tube with speed . With what speed does the lighter ball emerge from the other end?
FIGURE EX11.7 is an incomplete momentum bar chart for a 50 g particle that experiences an impulse lasting . What were the speed and direction of the particle before the impulse?

The air-track carts in FIGURE CP11.83 are sliding to the right at 1.0 m/s. The spring between them has a spring constant of 120 N/m and is compressed 4.0 cm. The carts slide past a flame that burns through the string holding them together. Afterward, what are the speed and direction of each cart?
