a) AN OBSEVER NEEDS ACCESS TO (1. His own watch (wrist-watch time) - 2. All synchronised watches in ALL Free-Float Frames - 3. All synchronised watches in ONE Free-Float Frame)
b) A TEST-PARTICLE (1. Has zero mass - 2. Generates neglectable gravitational field - 3. Is a standardised particle (SI-standard)
c) FREE-FLOAT FRAME IS USED BECAUSE (1. It makes gravity stronger - 2. It makes gravity weaker - 3. It makes gravity ”disappear”)
d) A FREE-FLOAT FRAME NEEDS TO BE LOCAL BECAUSE (1. Gravitational field can be different in different places - 2. To prevent zero effect on tide (high/low water) 3. To prevent the test particles mass to become zero)

A 44.0 kg body is moving in the direction of the positive x-axis with a speed of 373 m/s when owing to an internal explosion, it breaks into three pieces. One part, whose mass is 6.5kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 438 m/s along the positive y-axis. A second fragment, whose mass is 5.0 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 378 m/s along the negative x-axis.
What is the speed of the third fragment? Ignore effects due to gravity.
How much energy was released in the explosion?
