A projectile fired from a gun has initial horizontal and vertical components of velocity equal to 30 m/s and 40 m/s, respectively.
Added by Ryan E.
Step 1
The initial velocity of the projectile can be found using the Pythagorean theorem since the horizontal and vertical components form a right triangle. The initial velocity (v) is √((30 m/s)^2 + (40 m/s)^2) = 50 m/s. Show more…
