Q8.22 When an object breaks into two pieces (explosion, radio- active decay, recoil, etc.), the lighter fragment gets more kinetic energy than the heavier one. This is a consequence of momentum conservation, but can you also explain it by using Newton's laws of motion?

When Skylab reentered the Earth's atmosphere on July 11, 1979, itbroke into a myriad of pieces. One of the largest fragments was a1770-{\rm kg} lead-lined film vault, and it landed with anestimated speed of 120 {\rm m}/{\rm s}.

What was the kinetic energy of the film vault when it landed?
