An artillery crew demonstrates its skill by firing a shell at an angle of 88.0 degress and then lowering the gun barrel and firing a second shell at a smaller angle of 36.0 degress in such a way that the two shells collide in midair. The initial velocity of both shells is 930. m/s. Find the time elapsed between the two firings, in seconds. Neglect air
