A mortar shell has an initial velocity v0= 13 m/s, at an angle θ0=60º.  At the maximum height of the trajectory the shell explodes into two equal pieces.  One piece has a speed immediately after the explosion of zero then falls vertically.  How far horizontally does the other fragment land from where it was fired.
