Question

6. A three piece explosive, at rest on a horizontal surface explodes. Two piece fly off horizontally at 60° to each other, a 1.50 kg piece at 25.0 m/s and a 2.00 kg piece at 40.0 m/s. The third piece flies off horizontally at 30.0 m/s. Draw the situation. [2] Determine the direction and mass of the third object. [6]
