Question

A projectile is thrown from a point O on the ground at an angle $$45o$$ from the vertical and with a speed $$52m/s$$. The projectile at the highest point of its trajectory splits into two equal parts. One part falls vertically down the ground, $$0.5$$ s after the splitting. The other part, t seconds after the splitting, falls to the ground at a distance x meters from the point O. The acceleration due to gravity g $$=10$$ $$m/s2$$.The value of t is $$_______The$$ value of x is $$_______$$
