An exploding plastic egg is sitting at rest on a lab table when it explodes into two pieces. One piece goes left at 6.0 m/a, call it m1, and the other piece goes right at 9 m/s, call it m2. If m1 has a mass of 110 g, what is the mass of m2?

since the explosive force is same, momentum is same
ie 110*6=m*9
mass= 73.3g
