A cannon ball is fired with a velocity $200\, m/sec$ 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 $100 \,m/sec$, the second one falling vertically downwards with a velocity $100\, m/sec$. The third fragment will be moving with a velocity
