A 15 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 110 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, with a mass of 7.9 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 150 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 4.0 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 530 m/s. What are the (a) x-component and (b) y-component of the velocity of the third part? (c) How much energy is released in the explosion? Ignore effects due to the gravitational force.
