A space probe, initially at rest, undergoes an internal mechanical malfunction and breaks into three pieces. One piece of mass ml = 48.0 kg travels in the positive x-direction at 12.0 m/s, and a second piece of mass m2 = 62.0 kg travels in the xy-plane at an angle of 105 at 15.0 m/s. The third piece has mass m3 = 112 kg.

(d) Calculate the final y-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (e) Substitute the known momentum components into the general equations of momentum for the x- and y-directions, along with the known mass m3. (f) Solve the two momentum equations for v3 cos and v3 sin , respectively, and use the identity cos2 + sin2 = 1 to obtain v3.

Particle P has a mass of 3 kg and Particle Q has a mass of 'm³ kg. The particles are moving in opposite directions along a smooth horizontal plane when they collide directly. Before the collision, the speed of P is 4 m/s and the speed of Q is 2 m/s. After the collision, the speed of P is 1m/s and the direction unchanged. Q moves in a reversed direction. Compute mass of Particle Q when the coefficient of restitution is given as 0.2.
