A projectile of mass 2.0kg is fired in the air at an angle of 40.0 with respect tothe ground at a speed of 50.0m/s as shown in the figure. At the highest point inits flight, the projectile breaks into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces,whose speed (with respect to the ground) immediately after the explosion is 0, fallsvertically downwards.(a) Find the velocity of the other piece immediately after the projectile breaks up.(b) Find the distance between the initial launching point and the forward-movingpiece after it has landed on the ground, assuming that the terrain is level andthat air drag is negligible.

Vertical velocity of the projectile at the highest point is zero. Thus, the forward moving particle…

Two spheres collide on a horizontal surface (all velocities, before and after the collision, are in the x-y plane). Throughout this problem, assume that all forces aside from those exerted by the spheres themselves are negligible (at least in comparison). Sphere A has a mass of 0.65 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.0 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ A i = 28 degrees below the x-axis. Sphere B has a mass of 0.45 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.5 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ B i = 35 degrees above the x-axis.
