Question

1) A white bomb made of a composition of TNT and RDX with a mass of 1.2-kg moving along the x-axis is exploded at the origin into two pieces. The speed of the bomb before the explosion was 0.50 m/s. The mass of the pieces and the speed of the piece moving vertically are shown in the figure below:

a)What is the angle θ, (which is the angle made by the velocity of the second piece and x-axis)? 

b)  What is the speed of the second piece?
