Randall D. Knight β Impulse and Momentum: Problem 46
A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular to each other, at speed \(v_0\). The third piece has twice the mass as the other two. What are the speed and direction of the third piece? Give the direction as an angle east of north.
