Question

A projectile is fired at a speed of 210 m/s and an angle theta. The projectile's intended target is 2600 m away and 350 m above the firing point. A) Derive and solve the equation that determines the angle theta such that the projectile will hit the target. B) For the angle determined in part A, use the ezplot command to make a plot of the projectile's trajectory. Code this in MATLAB.
