A projectile is launched horizontally from a height $h$ of 40 m above level ground with an initial speed $v_0$. When it lands, the inclination angle $ heta$ is 70 degrees from the horizontal. In unit-vector notation, determine the initial velocity of the object.

Step 1
We know that the projectile is launched horizontally, so the initial vertical velocity component is 0, i.e., $v_{0y} = 0$. Show more…
