Find the total kinetic energy increase in the process

Reference no: EM13538031

An unstable atomic nucleus of mass 1.62x^10-26 kg initially at rest disintegrates into three particles. One of the particles, of mass 5.02x10^-27 kg, moves in the y direction with a speed of 6.00x10^6 m/s. Another particle, of mass 8.44x10^-27 kg, moves in the x direction with a speed of 4.00x10^6 m/s.
