[Challenging Question:LVL 1:]
A bomb of mass 'm' is projected at an angle with the horizontal.It explodes in 2 fragments-:m/3 and 2m/3.At max height m/3 falls vertically downward whereas 2m/3 flies off and falls at any point say "D".Find the distance AD.
(A is the initial point on the graph).
Good luck to everyone who tries!

haha

anonymous · Answer

what are the variables/data in terms of which the distance is to be found..i mean it wont be a numerical ans,right?

dls · Answer

in terms of R you can suppose (:

now my imagination says
bomb explodes in such a way that is momentum that was taking it in parabolic direction is cancelled out with thrust of bomb
now m*(velocity at highest point)=momentum of bomb
it is cancelled out by thrust of bomb with just a /3rd of its mass used as while explosion.
