A projectile of mass 2.0 kg is fired in the air at an angle of 43.0° to the horizon at a speed of 44.0 m/s. At the highest point in its flight, the projectile breaks into three parts of mass 1.0 kg, 0.7 kg, and 0.3 kg. The 1.0 kg part falls straight down after breakup with an initial speed of 14.8 m/s, the 0.7 kg part moves in the original forward direction, and the 0.3 kg part goes straight...

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...
