The projectile of weight W is fired from ground level with an initial velocity v_A in the direction shown. When it reaches its highest point B it explodes into two fragments of weight W/2. If one fragment is seen to travel vertically upward, and after they fall they are a distance d apart, determine the speed of each fragment just after the explosion. Neglect the size of the gun.
