A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass m, moves with velocity (-45 m/s) i and a second piece, also of mass m, moves with velocity (-45 m/s) . The third piece has mass 3m. Just after the explosion, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to the +x axis) of the velocity of the third piece?

Question
**Problem Statement:**

A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass \( m \), moves with velocity \( (-4.5 \, \text{m/s}) \, \hat{i} \) and a second piece, also of mass \( m \), moves with velocity \( (-4.5 \, \text{m/s}) \, \hat{j} \). The third piece has mass \( 3m \). Just after the explosion, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to the +x axis) of the velocity of the third piece?

**Questions:**
  
(a) Magnitude of the velocity of the third piece:
- Number: [Input Box]
- Units: [Dropdown]

(b) Direction of the velocity (angle relative to the +x axis) of the third piece:
- Number: [Input Box]
- Units: [Dropdown]
