An object disintegrates into two fragments. One fragment has mass 1.00 MeV/c2 and momentum 1.75 MeV/c in the positive x direction. The other fragment has mass 1.50 MeV/c2 and momentum 2.00 MeV/c in the positive y direction. Find the (a) mass and (b) speed of the original object. Hint: Use conservation of energy and momentum.
