Question: A bomb at rest explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two of the pieces have equal mass and the first one flies off with the speed

A bomb at rest explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two of the pieces have equal mass and the first one flies off with the speed of 100 m/s to 40 NE, and the second piece flies off with the speed of 100.0 m/sec to 40 NW. The third pieces have two times the mass of each other piece. What are the magnitude and the direction of the third piece immediately after the explosion?(Apply conservation of momentum in two dimensions)
