A 2.40 kg stationary package explodes into three parts that then slide across a frictionless floor. The package had been at the origin of a coordinate system. Part 1 has mass m1 = 0.490 kg and velocity(14.0i+14.0j)m/s . Part 2 has mass m2 = 0.780 kg and a speed of 17.0 m/s, and travels at an angle 79.1° (counterclockwise from the positive direction of the x axis). (a) What is the speed of part 3? (b) In what direction does it travel? State your direction as a positive (counterclockwise) angle from the +x axis.
