In the Olympic shot-put event, an athlete throws the shot with an initial speed of 12 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees above the horizontal. The shot leaves her hand at a height of 1.40 m above the ground. Find R, the shot traveled horizontally? Find the time it takes to reach the ground. With what velocity (magnitude and direction) it hits the ground? Find H, the maximum height it goes to from the point.
