A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another, one in the x direction another in the y direction
A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another, one in the x direction another in the y direction. Both of these pieces fly away with a speed of V = 35 m/s. The third piece has three times the mass of the other two pieces.
Part (a) Write an expression for the speed of the larger piece, that is in terms of only the variable V. 
Part (b) What is the numeric value for the speed of the larger piece, in meters per second?
Part (c) At what angle does the largest piece travel with respect to the -y axis, in degrees?

One 2.5 gram piece of mass moving at 100 meters per second (m/s) collides and sticks to another 2.5 gram mass at rest. The resulting 5 gram mass continues in the same direction with some speed. No external forces act on these masses, and during the collision no particles are absorbed, but 3 × 1025 photons are emitted due to the collision. These photons all have a wavelength of 1.0 μm, but their direction is split three ways. One third...
