Angle edge of cone makes by original direction of travel

Reference no: EM13674010

An object is observed moving at 0.60 c when it explodes. In the reference frame of the object, the explosion disburses small fragments equally in all directions at speed 0.20 c. From the reference frame of the observer, the explosion appears to disburse all the fragments into a cone. Decide the angle the edge of the cone makes by the original direction of travel.
