A 4.0 kg projectile is launched into the air with an initial velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. When the projectile reaches its maximum height it explodes, splitting in two parts, one of mass 3.0 kg and one of mass 1.0 kg. Assume the explosion was essentially instantaneous.

  1. Determine the maximum height of the projectile using energy.

  2. After the explosion, if the 1.0 kg mass is moving at 1/2 the speed it was right

    before the explosion. Find the velocity of the 3.0 kg mass right after the explosion.

  3. How far from the launch site will the 3.0 kg mass land?
