A 1400 kg weather rocket accelerates upward at 10m/s2. It explodes 1.5 s after liftoff and breaks into two fragments, one twice as massive as the other. Photos reveal that the lighter fragment traveled straight up and reached a maximum height of 500 m .
What was the speed of the heavier fragment just after the explosion?

A 4-kg projectile travels with a horizontal velocity of 600 m/s
before it explodes and breaks into two fragments A and B of mass
1.5 kg and 2.5 kg, respectively. If the fragments travel along the
parabolic trajectories shown, determine the magnitude of velocity
of each fragment just after the explosion and the horizontal
distance where segment B strikes the ground at D.
