4 Failed rocket
. An instrument-carrying rocket accidentally explodes at the top of
)
, its trajectory. The horizontal distance between the launch point and
the point of explosion is L. The rocket breaks into two pieces that
fly apart horizontally. The larger piece has three times the mass,
of the smaller piece. To the surprise of the scientist in charge, the
smaller piece returns to Earth at the launching station. How far
away does the larger piece land? Neglect air resistance and effects
due to the Earth's curvature.

4:6 Emergency landing .
t> A light plane weighing 2500 Ib makes an emergency landing on
a short runway. With its engine off, it lands on the runway at
120 ft/s. A hook on the plane snags a cable attached to a 250-lb
sandbag and drags the sandbag along. If the coefficient of fric­
tion between the sandbag and the runway is 0.4, and if the plane's
brakes give an additional retarding force of 300 lb, how far does
. the plane go before it comes to a stop?
