Textbook Question

INT A 1500 kg weather rocket accelerates upward at 10 m/s² . It explodes 2.0 s after liftoff and breaks into two fragments, one twice as massive as the other. Photos reveal that the lighter fragment traveled straight up and reached a maximum height of 530 m. What were the speed and direction of the heavier fragment just after the explosion?

Textbook Question

(III) A 360-kg four-wheel flat cart 15 m long is moving horizontally with a speed of 6.0 m/s. A 110-kg worker starts walking from one end of the cart to the other in the direction of motion, with speed 2.0 m/s with respect to the cart. In the time it takes for him to reach the other end, how far has the cart moved?
