Calculate the speed of the third piece of shrapnel

Reference no: EM13542577

An artillery shell of mass 10.00 kg, lying at rest on the ground, accidentally detonates, exploding into three pieces of shrapnel. One piece of mass 1.10 kg is flung in the -x direction at 24.6 m/s, while a second piece of mass 1.50 kg is propelled in the -y direction at 13.8 m/s. Determine the angle at which the remaining piece of shrapnel travels, relative to the +x axis. Calculate the speed of the third piece of shrapnel.
