A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another, one in the x direction another in the y direction
A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another, one in the x direction another in the y direction. Both of these pieces fly away with a speed of V = 35 m/s. The third piece has three times the mass of the other two pieces.
Part (a) Write an expression for the speed of the larger piece, that is in terms of only the variable V. 
Part (b) What is the numeric value for the speed of the larger piece, in meters per second?
Part (c) At what angle does the largest piece travel with respect to the -y axis, in degrees?

An object, hanging at rest, explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two pieces, one with twice the mass of the other, fly off perpendicular to one another with the same speed of 31.4 m/sec. The third piece has three times the mass of the lightest piece. Find the magnitude and direction of its velocity immediately after the explosion. (I defined this problem with the mass m going in the +x direction, the mass 2m going in the +y direction, and the...
