Let\,\bar v'\,be\,velocity\,of\,third\,piece\,of\,mass\\
2m.\\
Initial\,momentum\,,\,{{\bar p}_i} = 0\left( {As\,the\,body\,is\,at\,rest} \right)\\
Final\,momentum,\,{{\bar P}_i} = mv\hat i + mv\hat j + 2m\bar v'\\
According\,to\,law\,of\,conservation\,of\\
momentum\,\\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{\bar P}_i} = {{\bar P}_f}\\
0 = mv\hat i + mv\hat j + 2m\bar v'\\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\bar v' =  - \frac{v}{2}\hat i - \frac{v}{2}\,\hat j

The\,magnitude\,of\,v'\,is\\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,v' = \sqrt {{{\left( { - \frac{v}{2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - \frac{v}{2}} \right)}^2}}  = \frac{v}{{\sqrt 2 }}\\
Total\,kinetic\,energy\,generated\,due\,to\\
