A 2.600-kg model rocket is launched vertically and reaches an altitude of 70 m with a speed of 30 m/s at the end of powered flight, time t = 0. As the rocket approaches its maximum altitude it explodes into two parts of masses mA = 0.910 kg and mB = 1.690 kg. Part A is observed to strike the ground 80 m west of the launch point at t = 6 s. Determine the position of part B at that time. The position of part B is m (east) and m (up).

A 2.600-kg model rocket is launched vertically and reaches an altitude of 70 m with a speed of 30 m / s at the end of powered flight, time t = 0 . As the rocket approaches its maximum altitude it explodes into two parts of masses m A = 0.910 k g and m B = 1.690 k g . Part A is observed to strike the ground 80 m west of the launch point at t = 6 s . Determine the position of part B at that time.
The position of part B is m (east) and m (up).
