Question
A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 80° and lands 16s later at the same height as it was launched (on the
ground).
Help on how to format answers: units
(a) What is the initial speed of the projectile?
&
VO =
(b) What is the maximum altitude?
Ymax
(c) What is the range?
X=
Hint: If it takes 16 seconds for the projectile to rise and fall back to the same initial height, at what time will it be at its highest
point? What will its vertical velocity be at its highest point? Give that, and the acceleration is -9.8m/s2, what must the initial
vertical velocity Viy
have been? How is the total initial velocity v; related to the vertical initial velocity viy
that you
have
that you have the launch angle.
