A projectile is launched at $t=0$ with initial speed $v_{\mathrm{i}}$ at an angle $\theta$ above the horizontal. (a) What are $v_{x}$ and $v_{y}$ at the projectile's highest point? (b) Find the time $t$ at which the projectile reaches its maximum height. (c) Show that the maximum height $H$ of the projectile is $$H=\frac{\left(v_{i} \sin \theta\right)^{2}}{2 g}$$
