Question

To view an interactive solution to a problem that is very similar to this one, select Interactive Solution 7.62. A fireworks rocket is moving at a speed of 55.3 m/s. The rocket suddenly breaks into two pieces of equal mass, which fly off with velocities v1 and v2, as shown in the drawing. What is the magnitude of (a) v1 and (b) v2?

Explanation / Answer

0.5mv1cos30+ 0.5m v2 cos60 = mx55.3 and v1sin 30 = v2 sin60 v1= 95.7824 m/s v2=55.3 m/s
