A projectile fired from a gun at a certain angle to the horizon at a certain speed at the top point of the trajectory explodes into two fragments, and the mass of the first is 1.4 times less than the mass of the second. The smaller of the fragments flew horizontally in the opposite direction at a speed equal to the speed of the projectile before explosion. Determine at what distance the larger fragment will fall from the gun if the place of the explosion is 2.1 km from the place of the shot (horizontally). Disregard air resistance.

In an elastic collision of two particles with masses m1 and m2, the initial velocities are u1 and u2 = u1. If the initial kinetic energies of the two particles are equal, find the conditions on u1/u2 and m1/m2 such that m1 is at rest after the collision. Examine both cases for the sign of .
At some point in its trajectory, a ballistic missile of mass (m) and velocity v0 splits into two equal masses at right angles to each other. Find the velocity of the second mass if its velocity is twice the speed of the first object in terms of v0?
Ricardo, of mass 80 kg, and Carmelita, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Merced at dusk in a 30 kg canoe.When the canoe is at rest in the placid water, they exchange seats, which are 3.0 m apart and symmetrically located with respect to the canoe’s center. If the canoe moves 40 cm horizontally relative to a pier post, what is Carmelita’s mass?
A spaceship, with a mass of 10000 kg, is traveling at a speed of v0 = 300 m/s. Suddenly, the engine explodes and the spaceship breaks into two separate pieces. The large engine piece contains 70% of the original mass, and moves away from the explosion at a speed of v1f=50m/s at an angle of 60◦,as shownWhat speed and in what direction is the smaller piece moving, which contains the cockpit and the astronauts?
An explosive of mass m, initialy at rest, explodes splitting in 3 pieces. Inmediatly after the explosion the 3 masses move with the same speed v0 and two of them moves perpendicular from themselfs. If the mass of one of them is m/4, find the masses of the other two. Thanks

A projectile is fired from a gun with an initial velocity of 400 m/s at an angle of 53◦ above the horizontal shown in the figure. When the projectile is at the top of its trajectory, an internal explosion causes a separation into two parts of equal masses. One part falls to the ground as though it has been released from rest at that point.Find the distance between the gun and the point of impact of the second part after the explosion.(Take g = 10 m/s2, cos 53◦ = 0.6 and sin 53◦ = 0.8.)
