(b) A drone with mass m is flying at speed vo (in the positive direction) when it suddenly explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m, is immediately traveling in the opposite direction with speed vo and a second piece of mass m is traveling in the original direction with speed vo. What is the direction and speed of the third piece?
