A shell is fired from a cannon with a speed of 100 m//s at an angle 30^(@) with the vertical ( y -direction). At the highest point of its trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of masses in the ratio 1:2 . The lighter fragment moves vertically upwards with an initial speed of 200 m//s . What is the speed of the heavier fragment at the time of explosion?
