An artillery platform tested at Aberdeen Proving Grounds is evaluating a new explosive. A 25.6 kg shell is fired from a platform 24 m above sea-level at an angle of 32° above the horizontal. It lands 5,910 m downrange at a height of 3.2 m after a total flight time of 15.8 s. Assuming no air resistance and using g = 9.8 m/s², calculate the impulse generated by the explosive and the kinetic energy of the projectile on impact.
