Expert Solution
Step 1

The following problem involves the law of conservation of momentum. The law gives the relation:

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Given, Initial mass, M = 33 kg

Initial velocity, u = 28 m/s

m1 = 4.60 kg

v1 = 55 m/s

m2 = 5.00 kg

v2 = 77 m/s

Here, we take the East as +x direction and North as +y direction. 

Mass of remaining part, m3 = 33-(4.60+5.00) = 23.4 kg
