of 150 . When it is at its highest point, the shell exploded into two fragments, one three times heavier than the other. The two fragments reach the ground at the same time. Assume that air resistance can be ignored. If the heavier fragment lands back at the same point from which the shell was launched, where will the lighter fragment land and how much energy was released in the explosion?

The impulse of the net force is equal to the average net force multiplied by the
time interval during which that force acts:
The impulse of the net force is also equal to the change in momentum of the object on which the force acts:
The equation tells us that for a 200- object whose velocity changes
from 20 west to zero, the magnitude of is
This value is the same no matter how long it takes the momentum to change. This same equation tells us that for a 400- object whose velocity changes from 10
south to 15 south, the magnitude of is
For a 400- object whose velocity changes from 20 south to 25 south, the
magnitude of is
The equation tells us that if a 300- net force acts on an object for
15 , the magnitude of is
This is independent of the mass of the object on which the net force acts.
