So in this problem, we're given this formula for h that represents the horizontal distance in meters that's traveled by a projectile.
00:07
So in part a, we're told the initial velocity is 20 meters per second.
00:10
So that would be our v -0 value.
00:13
So they want us to know what equation we would use to find the angle needed to travel 50 meters.
00:18
Well, 50 meters would be our h value because that's what h represents.
00:21
So in this case, all we're going to do is substitute 20 in place of v -0 and 50 in place of h.
00:27
So we're going to have 50 equals 20 squared divided by 32 times 2 times the sine of theta times the cosine of theta.
00:36
Now, i'm not sure how far you need to go ahead and simplify this.
00:40
So let's see if we can simplify this a little bit for us.
00:43
So we can start by multiplying both sides of our equation by 32.
00:47
So we're going to have 32 times 50.
00:49
That would equal to 1 ,600.
00:51
And then on the right hand side, we have 200 squared, which is 400.
00:55
So this is all equal to, and i'm going to still leave it like this, 2 sine of theta times the cosine of theta.
01:02
Well, 400 times 2 is equal to 800, or we could do a couple of things.
01:07
What i now can do is i can divide both sides of our equation by 400.
01:12
So we would have 4 equal to 2 sine theta cosine theta...
