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:

In this problem, an astronaut is landing on the 6.1×1021 kg asteroid traveling at 9830 m/s and detonates a nuclear bomb. The asteroid will break into two pieces of equal mass. One piece will fly off at an angle of 30∘ and speed 9700 m/s. What will be the speed and angle of the second piece?
A spaceship of mass 2.30x10 kg is cruising at a speed of 4.60x105 m/s when the antimatter reactor fails, blowing the ship into three pieces. One section, having a mass of 5.20x105 kg, is blown straight backward with a speed of 2.50x106 m/s. A second piece, with mass 7.70x105 kg, continues forward at 1.00x106 m/s.

During a fireworks display, a 0.290-kg bottle rocket approaches the top of its trajectory and explodes into two pieces as in the figure. The first piece (Piece 1) has mass 0.190 kg and the second piece (Piece 2) has mass 0.100 kg. Immediately after the explosion, the first piece is observed traveling to the left at a speed of 4.10 m/s and the second piece is observed traveling at an angle θ = 36.0° above the horizon at a speed of 15.0 m/s. Determine the components of the bottle rocket's velocity immediately before the explosion. Vxi = m/s Vyi = m/s
This amazing summer adventure is finally winding down with some pool. Unfortunately, this pool table is wonky and some of the balls are larger than the others! Anthony hits the cue ball (mass = 0.15 kg) and it moves at 5 m/s when it strikes head on into the number 3 ball (mass = 0.30 kg). After this inelastic collision, the cue ball moves off at 60 degrees relative to the +x axis and the number 3 ball moves off at -30 degrees relative to the +axis as shown. What were the speeds of the two balls after the collision?
