Answer:
v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
Explanation:
Given that
m₁=m₂ = m
m₃ = 2 m
Given that speed of the two pieces
u₁=- 25 j m/s
u₂ =- 25 i m/s
Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s
From linear momentum conservation
Pi= Pf
0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v
0 = -25 j m - 25 i m + 2 m v
2 v=25 j + 25 i m/s
v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
