Question

A fireworks rocket explodes at height h, the peak of its vertical trajectory. It throws out burning fragments in all directions, but all at the same speed v. Pellets of solidified metal fall to the ground without air resistance. Find the smallest angle that the final velocity of an impacting fragment makes with the horizontal. (Answer using g, h, and v, as needed.)

Answer 1

angle= tan-1 ((2gh)^1/2/v)

Answer 2

A firework rocket explodes at height h the peak of its vertical trajectory
