Physics

A body of mass 15.0 kg is traveling at 5.3 m/salong the positive x-axis with no external force acting. At acertain instant an internal explosion occurs, splitting the bodyinto two chunks of 7.5 kg mass each. The explosion givesthe chunks an additional 16 J of kinetic energy. Neitherchunk leaves the line of original motion. Determine the speed anddirection of motion of each of the chunks after the explosion.Enter the larger velocity.

Enter the smaller velocity.
