A missile breaks up into two pieces, one of which has a mass of 230 grams and flies off along the positive x-axis with a speed of 84.3 m/s. A second piece has a mass of 390 grams and flies off along the negative y-axis with a speed of 38.1 m/s. What is the magnitude and angle (in degrees) of the momentum of the missile right before it breaks up? Please show full work clearly.

A vessel at rest explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two pieces, having equal mass, fly off perpendicular to one another with the same speed of 45m/s. One goes along the negative x-axis and the other along the negative y-axis. The third piece has three times the mass of each other piece. What are the direction and magnitude of its velocity immediately after the explosion? 1)What is the angle with respect to the x-axis? 2)What is the magnitude of its velocity?
