A free body of mass \(8 \mathrm{~kg}\) is moving at \(2 \mathrm{~m} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}\) along a straight line. It splits into two equal parts due to an internal explosion releasing \(16 \mathrm{~J}\) of energy, and neither part deviates from the original line of motion. Finally,

  1. A both parts continue to move in the same direction as that of the original body
  2. B one part comes to rest and the other moves in the same direction as that of the original body
