Determine the speed and direction of the second piece


Some kids are playing a dangerous game with fireworks. They strap several firecrackers to a toy rocket and launch it into the air at an angle of 60° with respect to the ground. At the top of its trajectory, the contraption explodes, and the rocket breaks into two equal pieces. One of the pieces has half the speed that the rocket had before it exploded and travels straight upward with respect to the ground. Determine the speed and direction of the second piece. (Use v0 for the initial speed of the rocket.)
