In Case of projectile motion at the highest point
(𝑣)vertical = 0 and (𝑣)horizontal = 𝑣 cos θ
The initial linear momentum of the system will be
𝑚𝑣 cos θ. Now as force of blasting is internal and
force of gravity is vertical
So linear momentum of the system along
horizontal is conserved
𝑝1 + 𝑝2 = 𝑚𝑣 cos θ
