A space probe is traveling in outer space with a momentum that has a magnitude of 7.32 x 107 kg-m/s. A retrorocket is fired to slow down the probe. It applies a force to the probe that has a magnitude of 1.42 x 106 N and a direction opposite to the probe's motion. It fires for a period of 8.39 s. Determine the momentum of the probe after the retrorocket ceases to fire.

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 = 23 m/s. The third piece has three times the mass of the other two pieces. Write an expression for the speed of the larger piece, that is in terms of only the variable V. What is the numeric value for the speed of the larger piece, in meters per second? At what angle does the largest piece travel with respect to the -y axis, in degrees?
