Determining how much energy is liberated in the explosion


A body of 15 kg is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis having speed of 130 m/s when, due to the internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, having a mass of 5.2 kg, moves away from the point of explosion having a speed of 160 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, having a mass of 2.3 kg, moves in the negative x direction having a speed of 630 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.
