Question

Arocket is fired from the ground as a projectile. At the topof its trajectory, at a horizontal distance of 260m from the launchpoint, the rocket breaks into two pieces: One fragment having1/3 of the mass of the original rocket and the remaining piecehaving 2/3 of the original mass. The smaller piece fallsstraight down to the ground beneath the break up point while thelarger continues on. At what horizontal distance from thelaunch point does the larger fragment land?


(hint: by one dimensional kinematics, both pieces must hit theground at the same time) Arocket is fired from the ground as a projectile.
