A cannon shel lands 2 km away from the cannon . A 2nd shell , fired identically , breaks into 2 equal parts at the highest point . 1 falls vertically.How far from the cannon wil the other land?
The solution I have has done it with momentum conservation. Ans given is 2 km. Can I use the following:- The 2 parts shud have their COM at 2 km. 2=m+m[2+x]/2m. By this I m gettin x = 1 , so 3km. Pl explain wher m goin wrong.
