A 32-kg shell is fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity 80 m/s at 50o above 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. Calculate the range of the other fragment, assuming level terrain.

(hrw8c9p15) A shell is fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity of 39 m/s, at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass (see the figure). 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?

A shell is shot with an initial velocity of 21 m/s, at an angle of 62 degrees above the horizontal. How long does it take for the shell to get to the top of its trajectory? At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass, as shown in the figure below. One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far from the gun does this fragment land, assuming that...

A 204-kg projectile, fired with a speed of 131 m/sat a 65.0 ∘  angle, breaks into three pieces of equal mass at the highest point of its arc (where its velocity is horizontal). Two of the fragments move with the same speed right after the explosion as the entire projectile had just before the explosion; one of these moves vertically downward and the other horizontally. A. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the third fragment immediately after the explosion. B....

A 124 kg shell fired from cannon explodes and breaks into two equal parts at some height. after explosion, one part moves with speed of 112 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal, and the other part moves with a speed of 80 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees below the horizontal. What was the b=velocity of the shell before explosion?

A bullet shot from a small firearm has an initial velocity v0 of 52 m/s at an angle theta = 42 with respect to the horizontal. At the maximum trajectory (max height), we observe that, the bullet explodes into two small pieces both of which are of equal mass. One fragment  immediately after the explosion is therefore zero m/s and it falls vertically. How long (in seconds) does it take the shell to reach this point trajectory (max height)? What is...

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.

Suppose a 11.0 kg fireworks shell is shot into the air with an initial velocity of 68.0 m/s at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory, a small explosive charge separates it into two pieces, neither of which ignite (two duds). One 9.00 kg piece falls straight down, having zero velocity just after the explosion. Neglect air resistance (a poor approximation, but do it anyway). (a) At what horizontal distance (in m) from...
