Question

A projectile is fired from the ground (you can assume the initial height is the same as the ground) in a field so there are no obstacles in its way. It is fired at an angle of 37 degrees with respect to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 36 m/s. Air resistance is negligible in this situation. Call up the positive y direction, and toward the wall the positive x direction.

Maximum height the projectile reaches: 23.948m

Projectile speed at max height: 28.751m/s

Earliest time when the height of the projectile is half of its maximum value: 0.648s

The projectile is fired toward a wall that is a horizontal distance 106.6m from where the projectile was fired. What was the height of the projectile when it hit the wall?
