A projectile is fired from a gun at an angle of 45° with the horizontal and with a speed of 20 m s-1 relative to the ground. At the highest point in its flight, the projectile explodes into two fragments of equal mass. One fragment comes at rest just after the explosion. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming a horizontal ground? Take g=10 m s-2?
