Problem

A planet has a radius of 10 km10 \mathrm{~km} and a uniform density of 5 g/cm35 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}. A powerful bomb detonates at the center of the planet, releasing 8.93×1017 J8.93 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} of energy, causing the planet to separate into three large sections each with equal masses. You may model each section as a perfect sphere of radius r′r^{\prime}. The initial and final distances between the centers of any two given sections is 2r′2 r^{\prime}. How long does it take for the three sections to collide again?
