Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 8:**
A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass \( m \) fly away perpendicular to one another, one in the x direction and another in the y direction. Both of these pieces fly away with a speed of \( V = 26 \, \text{m/s} \). The third piece has three times the mass of the other two pieces.
**Randomized Variables**
\( V = 26 \, \text{m/s} \)
---
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows three pieces of a watermelon moving after an explosion. Two pieces of mass \( m \) are moving along the x and y axes with a speed \( V = 26 \, \text{m/s} \). The third piece with mass \( 3m \) moves in a direction opposite to the first two pieces, with velocity components \( V_f \) and angle \( \theta \).
---
**Part (a):**
Write an expression for the speed of the larger piece, that is in terms of only the variable \( V \).
\( V_f = \)
*Input field with virtual keyboard displaying trigonometric functions and variables.*
---
**Hints:**
- Deductions apply per hint used.
- Three hints are available.
---
**Part (b):**
What is the numeric value for the speed of the larger piece, in meters per second?
---
**Part (c):**
At what angle does the largest piece travel with respect to the -y axis, in degrees?
