![### Problem Statement
An object of mass \(3M\), moving in the \(+x\) direction at speed \(v_0\), breaks into two pieces of mass \(M\) and \(2M\) as shown in the figure.
If \(\theta_1 = 65.0^\circ\) and \(\theta_2 = -25.0^\circ\), determine the final velocities \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) of the resulting pieces in terms of \(v_0\).
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram shows:
- A large blue sphere labeled \(3M\) moving to the right with velocity \(v_0\).
- Upon breaking, it splits into:
- A green sphere labeled \(2M\) moving upwards and to the right at an angle \(\theta_2 = -25.0^\circ\). Its velocity \(v_2\) is unknown.
- An orange sphere labeled \(M\) moving downwards and to the right at an angle \(\theta_1 = 65.0^\circ\). Its velocity \(v_1\) is unknown.
### Given Answers
- \(v_1 = \frac{1.1}{v_0}\) (Incorrect)
- \(v_2 = \frac{1.49}{v_0}\) (Incorrect)
This setup represents a conservation of momentum problem where the initial momentum of the single object must equal the combined momenta of the two resulting objects. Each velocity component must be analyzed separately to solve for \(v_1\) and \(v_2\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5e5efc23-a198-4327-bdc7-d2931bd5f43b%2Fa44e16c3-2b88-4b85-a7b1-11fd278231d5%2F9yw4f8og_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
