The steps in collision
Question

A cannon ball is fired with a velocity 200 ms-1 at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. At the highest point of its flight, it explodes into 3 equal fragments, one going vertically upwards with a velocity 100 ms-1, the second one falling vertically downwards with a velocity 100 ms-1. The third fragment will be moving with a velocity

Moderate
Solution

At highest point, pi = pf and perpendicular velocity = 0

So,       (3m)(100i^)=m(100j^)-m(100j^)+m(v)

                        v=300i^ (of third part)
