A cannon ball is fired with a velocity 200 m/s 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 m/s, the second one fallings vertically downwards with a velocity 100 m/s. The third fragement will be moving with a velocity.
  1. 100 m/s in the horizontal direction
  2. 300 m/s in the horizontal direction
  3. 300 m/s in a direction making an angle of 60° with the horizontal
  4. 200 m/s in a direction making an angle of 60° with the horizontal
