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.

A spacecraft cruising in space at a constant velocity of 2000 ft/s has a mass of 25,000 lbm. To slow down the spacecraft, a solid fuel rocket is fired, and the combustion gases leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 lbm/s at a velocity of 5000 ft/s in the same direction as the spacecraft for a period of 5 s. Assuming the mass of the spacecraft remains constant, determine (a) the deceleration of the spacecraft during this 5-s period, (b) the change of velocity of the spacecraft during this time period, and (c) the thrust exerted on the spacecraft.
