A shell is shot with an initial velocity vo of 20 m/s, at an angle of ?0

Question:

A shell is shot with an initial velocity vo of 20 m/s, at an angle of ?0 = 60o with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass (Figure). One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming that the terrain is level and that air drag is negligible?image
