A pumpkin of mass 5kg shot out of a student-made cannon under air pressure at an elevation of 45 degrees fell at a distance 142m from the cannon. The students used light beams and photocells to measure the initial velocity of 54m/s. If the resistive force was F = -kmv^2, what was the value of k?

A firework of mass 1kg is shot in the air. At the highest point of its trajectory the firework has a velocity of 20m/s (horizontal) and explodes splitting into 2 parts, that fly off at 40° and 30° relative to the initial trajectory (see diagram). Part 1 that moves off at 40° has twice the magnitude of vertical velocity of part 2. Assume the total mass of the system doesn’t change, and neglect any other possible forces on the objects....
