Question
An M = 27.7 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of vix = 228.5 m/s
when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, with a mass of m1 = 13 kg, moves away from
the point of explosion with a speed of v1y = 138.5 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of m2 = 4.2
kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of v2x = 509.1 m/s. In unit-vector notation, what is the velocity of the
third part? Ignore effects due to the gravitational force.
