Homework Statement
http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5851/lolz32.png
A missle explodes in the air, forming 3 pieces equal in mass. Their masses are 0,03kg.
First piece started moving with a velocity of 60m/s, which makes its momentum
p=60*0,03=1,8
The second piece started moving with a velocity of 55m/s, making its momentum
p=55*0,03=1,65
The velocity directions are shown in the picture.
Find the momentum of the third piece by constructing/drawing.
The angle of the third piece's movement relative to vertical diretion.
The direction of the momentum of the third piece.
Homework Equations
p=mv
The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea how to solve this.
I'd bet the last 2 things are practically the same thing, though.
Thanks in advance,
