An explosive of mass m, initialy at rest, explodes splitting in 3 pieces. Inmediatly after the explosion the 3 masses move with the same speed v0 and two of them moves perpendicular from themselfs. If the mass of one of them is m/4, find the masses of the other two. Thanks VotVom/4

Question

An explosive of mass m, initialy at rest, explodes splitting in 3 pieces. Inmediatly after the explosion the 3 masses move with the same speed v₀ and two of them moves perpendicular from themselfs. If the mass of one of them is m/4, find the masses of the other two.

Follow-up Question

since the initial mass is m, the first piece m₁ = m/4, shouldn't the other two masses sum: m₂ + m₃ = (3/4)m? (mass = positive scalar)

Perhaps solving by using conservation of momentum, initial momentum = 0, defining the ecuations for final momentum on x and y axis, and solving from there?

thanks
