Problem 5: I'm going to change the description a bit so that if you didn't get the velocity of the left block correctly, you can still
get the velocity for the right block. Two blocks sit on a frictionless surface. The left block has a mass of 8 kg and the right has a
mass of 16 kg. They are glued together by the dreaded, unstable, and explosive glue, BamglueTM. The glue explodes! Bam-gluey!
Its chemical energy decreases by 48 J. After the explosion, the left block has a velocity with a magnitude of 2.828 m/s.
What is the magnitude of the velocity of the right block after the explosion (remember, magnitudes are never negative so, if you get a negative sign
in your answer, drop it)?
