Transfer sprite velocity to another sprite

[ptotheaul]

I have a sprite that's affected by velocity and gravity.  After that sprite is hit I want to swap it with two different sprite but keep the velocity and gravity of the original.  The effect I'm going for is like in Fruit Ninja when a fruit is slices and it breaks into two pieces.   What is the best way to achieve this?

You could use P2 lockConstraints and break the link of two (half) sprites :

What I'm doing is really going to be one sprite image that turns into two sprite images.  I know there is this:

sprite.body.bounce.setTo(1, 1);

but I'm wondering if there's already a solution for transferring that bounce energy into two sprites.

var v = sprite1.body.velocity;

sprite2.body.velocity.copyFrom(v);
sprite3.body.velocity.copyFrom(v);

sprite1.kill();
