A 2.97-kg projectile is fired with an initial speed of 133 m/s at an angle of 28° with the horizontal. At the top of its trajectory, the projectile explodes into two fragments of masses 0.97 kg and 2 kg. At 3.87 s after the explosion, the 2-kg fragment lands on the ground directly below the point of explosion.

A 75kg shell is fired with an initial speed of 125 m/s at an angle 55 degrees above horizontal. Air resistance is negligable. at its highest point, the shell explodes into two fragments. one four times more massive than the other. the heavier fragment lands directly below the point of the explosion. if the explosion exerts forces only in the horizontal direction, how far from the launch point does the fragment land?

A shell is shot with an initial velocity v0 of 48 m/s, at an angle of ?0 = 60° with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass. One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming that the terrain is level and that the air drag is negligible?
