A firework with mass M is launched from the origin with initial speed v0 and angle θ0 and travels along the usual parabolic path above flat ground. At the peak of its path, it explodes into two pieces. Piece one has mass .5M and speed v1 in an angle of 30◦ below the horizontal direction and the other piece has mass .5M and speed v2 in an unknown direction.(a) Do the two pieces land at the same time? (Justify your answer) (b) Sketch the motion of the COM and of both pieces. Note any external forces, and describe if p is conserved in x, y or both for the duration of the flight. Also note if the two pieces land at the same distance from the target or describe which one lands closer/further.

Question

A firework with mass M is launched from the origin with initial speed v₀ and angle θ₀ and travels along the usual parabolic path above flat ground. At the peak of its path, it explodes into two pieces. Piece one has mass .5M and speed v₁ in an angle of 30◦ below the horizontal direction and the other piece has mass .5M and speed v₂ in an unknown direction.

(a) Do the two pieces land at the same time? (Justify your answer)

(b) Sketch the motion of the COM and of both pieces. Note any external forces, and describe if p is conserved in x, y or both for the duration of the flight. Also note if the two pieces land at the same distance from the target or describe which one lands closer/further.
