A spaceship of mass 2.3×10^6kg is cruising at a speed of 6.0×10 ^6m/s when the antimatter reactor fails, blowing the ship into three pieces. One section, having a mass of 4.8×10^5kg , is blown straight backward with a speed of 2.3×10^6m/s . A second piece, with mass 8.2×10^5kg , continues forward at 1.0×10^6 m/s .

What is the speed of the third piece?

What is the direction of the third piece?
