Problem
A fireworks shell is launched from ground level at 40° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 30 m/s. At the very top of its trajectory it explodes into many equal-mass fragments that spread out symmetrically. Relative to the landing point that the intact shell would have reached, where will the average position (center of mass) of all the fragments land? Answer qualitatively.
