6. Mrs. Tillie's head explodes into three pieces after thinking too hard 

6. Mrs. Tillie's head explodes into three pieces after thinking too hard about this very problem (but HOW!?). As we all know, Mrs. Tillie's head has a mass of 15.0 kg (that's a lot of physics up there). A 6.0 kg chunk flies off at 12.0 m/s [W15N] and a 5.0 kg chunk sails at 8.0 m/s [S35E]. What is the velocity of the final piece?
