A metal gas storage tank explodes breaking into three pieces, two of equal mass and the third twice the mass of each of the others. The two equal mass parts fly off at speeds of 21.0 m/s at an angle of 100º between them. what's the speed of the heavier piece?

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...
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...
please answer all 5 questions , please ... thanks
A rock is thrown horizontally from the top of a 10 m cliff with an initial horizontal velocity of 10 m/s. It has a Kinetic energy of 78 J when it in at a height of 3.0 m above the ground. If 20% of its initial mechanical energy is used in against the air friction, the mass of the rock is: 0.5 kg 1.0 kg 1.5 kg 2.0 kg None of...
a small explosive explodes into three pieces, they fly 120 degrees relative to one another. the 1st piece has a mass of 6 kg. Pieces 2 has a mass of 7 kg, and flies with a speed of 3 m/s. Piece 3 has a mass of 7 kg, and flies with a speed of 3 m/s. how fast does the 1st piece go in m/s? Please explain how to solve (dumb it down) so that I could learn. Thank you!
What is the velocity of the third piece?
A cherry bomb explodes into three pieces of equal mass. One piece has an initial velocity of 11m/s x. Another piece has an initial velocity of 8.0m/s x - 4.0m/s y.

A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass m, moves with velocity (-47 m/s) and a second piece, also of mass m, moves with velocity (-47 m/s) . The third piece has mass 3m. Just after the explosion, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to the +x axis) of the velocity of the third piece?
A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass m, moves with velocity (-32 m/s) i Overscript ̂ EndScripts and a second piece, also of mass m, moves with velocity (-32 m/s) j Overscript ̂ EndScripts. The third piece has mass 3m. Just after the explosion, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to the +x axis) of the velocity...
An object with total mass mtotal = 16.2 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 = 23° above the –x axis with a speed of v1 = 25.3 m/s. A second piece with mass m2 = 5.1 kg moves down and to the right, an angle of θ2 = 28° to the right of the -y axis...
A 10kg mass initially at rest explodes into three pieces. A 4.5kg piece goes north at 20 m/s and a 2.0kg piece moves eastward at 60 m.s. A) Determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the third piece. B) Compare the final Kinetic Energy of the system to the original kinetic energy of the system.
