An object with total mass mtotal = 15 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.8 kg moves up and to the left at an angle of 0, = 24° above the -x axis with a speed of v, = 28.3 m/s. A second piece with mass m2 = 5.2 kg moves down and to the right an angle of 02 = 29° to the right of the -y axis at a speed of v2 = 21.5 m/s.

An unstable nucleus of mass 1.7 ✕ 10−26 kg, initially at rest at the origin of a coordinate system, disintegrates into three particles. One particle, having a mass of m1 = 1.8 ✕ 10−27 kg,moves in the positive y-direction with speed v1 = 5.4 ✕ 106 m/s. Another particle, of mass m2 = 9.0 ✕ 10−27 kg, moves in the positive x-direction with speed v2 = 3.2 ✕ 106 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the third particle. Answer the following:
