A tank, at rest at the origin of an x-y coordinate system, explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, mass of m, moves with the speed v in the negative x- direction, and a second piece, with mass m/2, moves with a speed vd at an angle of 30 degrees (down or -yaxis) with respect to the +x axis. The third piece with mass m/2 moves with speed vu at an angle (up or +y axis) of...

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?
