Finding the speed of the heavier fragment


A weather rocket of 1300 kg accelerates upward at 10 m/s^2. This explodes 2.3 s after liftoff and breaks into the two fragments, one twice as massive as the other. Photos reveal that the lighter fragment traveled straight up and reached a maximum height of 500 m.

Determine the speed of the heavier fragment just following the explosion?
