Question

Transcribed Image Text:12. A trail maintenance team is using explosives to remove a 895 kg boulder from a trail. When the
explosive charge is detonated, the boulder splits into two parts. The larger part has a mass of
515 kg, and moves west at a speed of 3.4 m/s. What is the velocity of the smaller part?
