Randall D. Knight β Impulse and Momentum: Problem 70
A 45 g projectile explodes into three pieces: a 20 g piece with velocity \( 25 \hat{i} \) m/s, a 15 g piece with velocity \( -10 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} \) m/s, and a 10 g piece with velocity \( -15 \hat{i} - 20 \hat{j} \) m/s. What was the projectileβs velocity just before the explosion?
