A 17 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 250 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, witha mass of 6.9 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 190 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 5.5 kg. moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 690 m/s. What are the (a) x- component and (b) y-component of the velocity of the third part? (c) How much energy is released in the explosion? Ignore effects due to the gravitational force. (a) Number Units m/s (b) Number Units ms (c) Number Units
