An object with total mass mtotal = 16.4 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.7 kg moves up and to the left at an angle of θ1 = 18° above the –x axis with a speed of v1 = 26 m/s. A second piece with mass m2 = 5.2 kg moves down and to the right an angle of θ2 = 23° to the right of the -y axis at a speed of v2 = 20.6 m/s.

5)

What is the magnitude of the velocity of the center of mass of the pieces after the collision?

A bomb at rest explodes into three fragments. Two of these fragments with mass m1 = 2 kg, and m2 = 1 kg respectively, travel in left direction; the other fragment with mass m3 = 3 kg travels in opposite direction. If the velocities of fragments 1 and 2 are v1 = 5 m/s and v2 = 2 m/s respectively, find the velocity of fragment 3.
