A cannonball is fired with an initial velocity vi of 91.8 m/s, at an angle of θ0 = 57° with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the cannonball explodes into three fragments of masses m1,  mm1,  and m= 2m1. The fragment with mass m3 travels along the +x direction with a speed of 45 m/s. The fragment with mass m1 falls vertically downward with a speed of 48 m/s. Find the magnitude of the velocity of the fragment m2

 

(The answer is 120.01 m/s) Just need the steps to get there
