Chapter 4, Problem 4.28P
A projectile is fired from the top of a cliff of height h above the ocean below. The projectile is fired at an angle θ above the horizontal and with an initial speed vi. (a) Find a symbolic expression in terms of the variables vi, g, and θ for the time at which the projectile reaches its maximum height. (b) Using the result of part (a), find an expression for the maximum height hmax above the ocean attained by the projectile in terms of h, vi, g, and θ.

A positive charge of 91 is located 5.11 m to the left of a negative charge 92. The
charges have different magnitudes. On the line through the charges, the net
electric field is zero at a spot 2.90 m to the right of the negative charge. On this
line there are also two spots where the potential is zero. (a) How far to the left of
the negative charge is one spot? (b) How far to the right of the negative charge is
the other?
