A rocket shot up reaches a height of 90.0m where an explosion causes the rocket to split into two parts that weigh 2.8kg and 0.56kg respectively. 870J of chemical energy was transformed into kinetic energy of the two parts.

(i) Describe the conservation of momentum and energy and include an equation that represents this example.

(ii) What is the speed of each part just after the explosion?

(iii) It is observed that the two parts hit the ground at the same time. What is the distance between the points on the ground where they land? (Assume that the ground is level and neglect air resistance).

A rocket is fired vertically upward. At the instant it reaches an altitude of 1450 m and a speed of 265 m/s, it explodes into three equal fragments. One fragment continues to move upward with a speed of 292 m/s following the explosion. The second fragment has a speed of 396 m/s and is moving east right after the explosion. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the third fragment? Answer in units of m/s

A tennis ball is it at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above the ground level 1 sec. after being hit. Then 0.9 seconds after reaching its maximum height, the ball barely clears the net that is 3 m from where the tennis ball was hit. Assume the ground is level. How high is the net? How far beyond the net does the tennis ball strike the ground?
