(hrw8c9p92) A body of mass 8.0 kg is traveling at 2.3 m/s along the positive x-axis with no external force acting. At a certain instant an internal explosion occurs, splitting the body into two chunks of 4.0 kg mass each. The explosion gives the chunks an additional 16 J of kinetic energy. Neither chunk leaves the line of original motion. Determine the speed and direction of motion of each of the chunks after the explosion. Enter the larger velocity.

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

Cathy is pedaling down a steep hill on her bicycle and wants to be able to coast up the next hill, which is 25 meters high, without pedaling. cathy and her bicycle have a mass of 75 kg. assuming her bicycle is 100% efficient, what would her speed have to be?

How do you know how many valence electrons an atom has?
