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 projectile’s velocity just before the explosion?

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 45 g, 20 g, , a, 15 g, 10 g
