physics question

In an unsuccessful attempt to send a probe to Mars, the carrier vehicle with a total mass of 533 kg is moving horizontally at 3000 m/s when it explodes and breaks into two parts. One of the parts with a mass of 333 kg continues with a speed of 3500 m/s, at 45.0° above the horizontal. What is the velocity and direction of the second piece if its mass is 200 kg?


Answer is 5660 m/s and 46.8° below the horizontal, but i keep getting the wrong answer
