Answer:

a fireworks display, a rocket is launched from the ground with a speed of 18.0 m/s and a direction of 51.0∘ above the horizontal. During the flight, the rocket explodes into two pieces of equal mass (see Fig. 8.32). (a) What horizontal distance from the launch point will the center of mass of the two pieces be after both have landed on the ground? (b) If one piece lands a horizontal distance of 26.0 m from the launch point, where does the other piece land?
