A 1500kg weather rocket accelerates upward at 10m/s2. It explodes 1.9s after liftoff and breaks into two fragments, one twice as massive as the other. Photos reveal that the lighter fragment traveled straight up and reached a maximum height of 530m. What was the speed of the heavier fragment just after the explosion?
