Answer:
[tex]v_3 = 400\ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
given,
mass of the body = 40 Kg
speed in x-axis = 238 m/s
mass break into three part
m₁ = 7 kg
v₁ = 356 m/s (along the positive y axis)
m₂ = 4.5 kg
v₂ = 357 m/s(along the negative x axis)
m₃ = 40 - (7 + 4.5) = 28.5 Kg
v₃ = ?
using conservation of momentum
MV = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃
[tex](40)(238) \hat{i} = (7)(356) \hat{j} - (4.5)(357) \hat {i} + 28.5 v_3[/tex]
[tex](9520) \hat{i} = 2492 \hat{j} - 1606.5\hat {i} + 28.5 v_3[/tex]
[tex]11126.5 \hat{i} - 2492 \hat{j} = 28.5 v_3[/tex]
[tex]v_3 =390.40 \hat{i} - 87.44 \hat{j}[/tex]
[tex]v_3 = \sqrt{390.40^2 + 87.44^2}[/tex]
[tex]v_3 = 400\ m/s[/tex]
