A 3 kg particle is moving with an initial velocity of 20 m/s to the right when it explodes into two fragments. Immediately after the explosion, which occurs at the origin of the coordinate system, the velocity of fragment A is observed to be 60 m/s and the fragments are traveling in the direction shown. Answer: A) what is the mass of fragment A; B) what is the speed of fragment B.
