Part B

During the explosion, is the force of piece A on piece B greater than, less than, or equal to the force of piece B on piece A?

Part C

Explanation / Answer

A> before explosion momentum of A =0 B>the force of piece A on piece B is equal according to the newtons third law ans = equal C>the momentum will be equal and opposite hence momentum of B = -500kg.m/s cheers :)
