A 40.0kg bomb is moving at 10.0 m/s in the negative x-direction when it explodes into 3 pieces.  When it explodes, piece one with a mass of 14.5 kg has a velocity of 20.0 m/s in the negative x-direction, piece two has a mass of 10kg and has a velocity of (15i - 20j ) m/s.  Determine the velocity of the third piece of the bomb  in the y-direction after the explosion.
