A hovering drone's motor fails and it drops from the sky straight 

A hovering drone's motor fails and it drops from the sky straight down. While dropping, things get worse as the drone explodes into two pieces, one with 1/4 the mass of the drone and the other with 3/4 of its mass. If the 1/4 mass piece hits the ground 6.0 m from the spot directly below where the drone had been hovering, how far from that spot does the 3/4 mass piece hit?
