Question

A projectile launched upwards for maximum range R from point O on level ground, explodes into two fragments of equal masses when it was at maximum height. One of the fragments reaches back to point of projection O. The point where the other one reaches ground will be at a distance (Take point of projection as origin) 1) R from O 2) 2R from O 3) 4R from O 4) R 2 from O

Answer 1

Answer:

A projectile of range R bursts at its highest point

A projectile of range R bursts at its highest point in two fragments, Both pieces at the time of bursts have the velocity in the horizontal direction. The heavier is double the mass of the figther. Lighter frangments falls at R2 horizontal distance from the point of projection in the opposite side of projection
