An object at rest explodes into three fragments. The figure shows the momentum vectors of two of the fragments:

  • vector P1 is directed along the px axis and has a magnitude of 39.0 kg m/s.
  • vector P2 is at an angle of 220. measured counterclockwise from the positive px axis and has a magnitude of 53.0 kg m/s.

What are the px and py components of the momentum of the third fragment?

px = -4.93 kg m/s, py = 40.6 kg m/s px = 109 kg m/s, py = 184 kg m/s px = 1.60 kg m/s, py = 34.1 kg m/s px = 1.60 kg m/s, py = 40.6 kg m/
