Your goal is to launch a pumpkin at a target. The launch pad is 2 m off the ground. The target is 1 m above the ground, 15 m away. You launch the pumpkin with an initial velocity of (5, 10) m/s. In midair, the pumpkin breaks apart into 1 kg and 2 kg chunks. (a) If the small piece hits the target at t = 2s, what is the position of the larger chunk at that time? (b) Would you have hit the target if your pumpkin did not explode? 1s, then what was v of the two pumpkin shards (c) If the explosion happened at t immediately after the explosion?

people love to play with balls nowadays especially during quarantine as theres not much to do. lets say we have a ball that hits another ball that is at the rest. after they hit and smash each other, the first ball moves 4m/s on the platform and makes an angle of 25 degrees while the other ball has a speed of 3m/s..
