A projectile launched with initial speed $V_i$ = 150 m/s at an angle of 39 degrees travels a horizontal distance of 421.2 meters. a) How long did the projectile travel before hitting the ground? b) Calculate the maximum height that this the projectile can reach

Step 1
To find the time of flight, we need to find the time it takes for the projectile to reach the ground. We can use the equation of motion in the vertical direction: y = V0y * t - (1/2) * g * t^2 where: y = vertical displacement (in this case, the height of the Show more…

A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of θ = 38° above the horizontal. The x-component of the initial velocity is 60 m/s. What is the maximum height of the projectile above the ground, and what is the final speed before it hits the ground?

A projectile is launched at an angle of 13.0 degrees above the horizontal. What is its initial speed if it hits a target that is located a horizontal distance of 140m from the launch point and elevated 15.0 m from the launch level?

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of $30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. The object hits the ground 7.5 s later. a. How much higher or lower is the launch point relative to the point where the projectile hits the ground? b. To what maximum height above the launch point does the projectile rise? c. What are the magnitude and direction of the projectile's velocity at the instant it hits the ground?
