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. both parts continue to move in the same direction as that of the original body
  2. one part comes to rest and the other moves in the same direction as that of the original body
  3. one part comes to rest and the other moves in the direction opposite to that of the original body
  4. one part moves in the same direction and the other in the direction opposite to that of the original body
