Determine how much energy is liberated in the explosion


A body of 26 kg is moving via space in the positive direction of an x-axis having a speed of 190 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, having a mass of 14 kg, moves away from the point of explosion having a speed of 160 m/s in the positive y direction. The second part, having a mass of 5.6 kg, moves in the negative x-direction with a speed of 300 m/s. Determine the (i) x-component and (ii) y-component of the velocity of the third part? (iii) Determine how much energy is liberated in the explosion? Avoid effects due to the gravitational force.
