Question

A mighty superhero leaps at an angle $\theta = 50^\circ$ above horizontal with an initial speed $V_0 = 34.2 m/s$ onto the roof of a building that is 20 meters tall, as shown above. How far does the Amazon land from her starting position, horizontally?

Step 1

$V_{ox} = V_o cos(\theta) = 34.2 cos(50^\circ) = 21.97 m/s$ $V_{oy} = V_o sin(\theta) = 34.2 sin(50^\circ) = 26.21 m/s$ Show more…
