Question

An object explodes into three fragments (A, B, and C) of equal mass. What will be the approximate direction of fragment C if

(a) both fragments A and B move north?

(b) fragment A moves east and fragment B moves south?

(c) fragment A moves [15.0^o] and fragment B moves [121^o]?

Please be sure to draw the vectors.

Answer 1

Approximate direction of the fragment C can only be decided on the basis of the law of conservation of momentum and i apply the same and draw the approximate vector of the fragment C .
