Homework Statement
A 9.3 kg firework is launched straight up and at its maximum height 45 m it explodes into three parts. Part A (0.5 kg) moves straight down and lands 0.29 seconds after the explosion. Part B (1 kg) moves horizontally to the right and lands 10 meters from Part A. Part C moves...
Can you check my work
Mgh - Mg(2R) = 0.5MV^2
gh - 2gR = 0.5V^2
gh-2gR = 0.5Rg
h = 2.5R = 2.5(.36m)= 0.9
for the second part to figure out how far from the table it lands:
Y = Voyt + .5gt^2
0.9 = 4.9t^2
t = 0.428571s
x = Voxt
x =((Rg)^0.5)*t
