Question: A 2 7 . 0 2 7 . 0 kg body is moving in the direction of the positive xx - axis with a speed

A 27.027.0 kg body is moving in the direction of the positive xx-axis with a speed of 391391 m/s when, owing to an internal explosion, it breaks into three pieces. One part, whose mass is 9.509.50 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 492492 m/s along the positive yy-axis. A second fragment, whose mass is 4.504.50 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 316316 m/s along the negative xx- axis.
