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.
A boy is standing from the top of a cliff 8 m from the ground
and he has a bow which is aimed 40 degrees from the horizontal. He
can release the bow with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. An
animal is below the cliff and is moving towards the boy at a
velocity of 5 m/s. For the bow to hit the animal, at what distance
D should the animal be when the bow is fired?
