Question

A block moves at 5 m/s in the positive x direction and hits anidentical block, initially at rest. A small amount of gunpowder hadbeen placed on one of the blocks. The explosion does not harm theblocks but it doubles their total kinetic energy. After theexplosion the blocks move along the x-axis and the incident blockhas a speed of what? Please show all work and if possible explain where you usedconservation of momentum or energy A block moves at 5 m/s in the positive x direction and hits anidentical block, initially at rest.
