A 300-kg space vehicle traveling with a velocity v0 = (360 m/s)i passes through the origin O

Question:

A 300-kg space vehicle traveling with a velocity v0 = (360 m/s)i passes through the origin O at t = 0. Explosive charges then separate the vehicle into three parts A, B, and C, with mass, respectively, 150 kg, 100 kg, and 50 kg. Knowing that at t = 4 s, the positions of parts A and B are observed to be A (1170 m, -290 m, -585 m) and B (1975 m, 365 m, 800 m), determine the corresponding position of part C. Neglect the effect of gravity.
