The figure shows a two-ended "rocket" that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, with its center at the origin of anxaxis. The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M-7.90 kg) and blocks Land R (each of mass m -2.60 kg) on the left and right sides. Small explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At time t-0, block Lis shot to the left with a speed of 3.40 m/s relative to the velocity that the explosion gives the rest of the rocket. (2) Next, at time t - 0.80 s, block R is shot to the right with a speed of 3.40 m/s relative to the velocity that block C then has (after the second explosion). At t -2.70s, what are (a) the velocity of block C (including sign) and (b) the position of its center?

Suppose a 12.0 kg fireworks shell is shot into the air with an initial velocity of 65.0 m/s at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory, a small explosive charge separates it into two pieces, neither of which ignite (two duds). One 9.00 kg piece falls straight down, having zero velocity just after the explosion. Neglect air resistance (a poor approximation, but do it anyway). At what horizontal distance (in m) from the starting point does the 9.00 kg piece hit the ground? Calculate the velocity (in m/s) of the 3.00 kg piece just after the separation. At what horizontal distance (in m) from the starting point does the 3.00 kg piece hit the ground?
