A student throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.82 m at an angle θ = 33° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. The target is located a horizontal distance d = 6.5 m from the student’s feet. Assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. Part (b) In terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. Your answer should not include h.
Problem 5: A student throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.82 m at an angle θ = 33° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. The target is located a horizontal distance d = 6.5 m from the student’s feet. Assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. Part (b) In terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. Your answer should not include h.
