A cannon elevated at some angle e (unknown) fires a shell with some initial speed v, (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, 24% 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)). D = Explosion site (a) No Explosion (b) With Explosion

In a very busy off-campus eatery, one chef sends a 201 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.79 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 335 g veggie burger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.47 m/s. The two delicacies collide head-on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction-free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving. In what direction does the merged meal move, if it moves at all? A) does not move B) to the right C) to the left At what speed does it move in m/s? Enter a positive number.
