Consider a stationary object placed at rest on a horizontal table. A firecracker explodes inside it and two unequal parts of the original object fly away in opposite directions. If the mass of the lighter chunk is mA and that of the heavier chunk is mB = 5mA, what is the ratio of their kinetic energies (KB/KA) after the explosion?

A 4.8-kg block attached to an ideal spring executes simple harmonic motion on a frictionless horizontal surface. At time t = 0.00 s, the block has a displacement of a velocity of and an acceleration of The force constant (spring constant) of the spring is closest to
