Question: ( 2 pt ) A 9 0 0 lb space vehicle traveling with a velocity v 0 = ( 1 5 0 0 f t

(2 pt) A 900 lb space vehicle traveling with a velocity v0=(1500fts)hat(k) passes through the origin O. Explosive charges then separate the vehicle into three parts A,B, and C, with masses 150lb,300lb, and 450 lb respectively. Knowing that shortly therafter the position of the three parts are A(250,250,2250),B(600,1300,3200) and 950,1900 respectively, where the coordinates are expressed in feet, that the velocity of B is vB=(500fts)hat(i)+(1100fts)hat(j)+(2100fts)hat(k) and that the x-component of the velocity of C is -400fts, determine the velocity of part A.
