Ch 9 - 71CP
Chapter 9, Problem 71CP(choose chapter or problem)
A spaceship of mass \(2.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~kg}\) is cruising at a speed of \(5.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) when the antimatter reactor fails, blowing the ship into three pieces. One section, having a mass of \(5.0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~kg}\), is blown straight backward with a speed of \(2.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). A second piece, with mass \(8.0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~kg}\), continues forward at \(1.0 \times\) \(10^{6} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). What are the direction and speed of the third piece?
