Question
A cannon elevated at some angle ? (unknown) fires a shell with some initial speed v0 (unknown) that has a range R when fired over level ground (see Figure (a)).
During a test fire, a shell explodes at the top of the trajectory into two unequal mass fragments. The shell explodes in such a manner that neither fragment experiences a change in momentum in the y-direction. However, 18% of the shell (m2) continues onward and the other fragment (m1) falls straight down. Determine the distance D (in terms of R) that the forward moving fragment lands from the cannon (see Figure (b)).

(a) No Explosion
During a test fire, a shell explodes at the top of the trajectory into two unequal mass fragments. The shell explodes in such a manner that neither fragment experiences a
change in momentum in the y-direction. However, 18% of the shell (m,) continues onward and the other fragment (m,) falls straight down. Determine the distance D (in terms
of R) that the forward moving fragment lands from the cannon (see Figure (b)).
