Result
Range38.32 m
Time of flight2.339 s
Maximum height6.707 m
Step-by-step solution
Components
vx = 20·cos 35° = 16.38 m/s
vy = 20·sin 35° = 11.47 m/s
Time to land
0 = h + vy·t − ½gt² → t = 2.339 s
Range and height
x = vx·t = 38.32 m
hmax = h + vy²/(2g) = 6.707 m
Key formulas
- Components
- vx = v0cos θ, vy = v0sin θ
- Position
- x = vxt, y = h + vyt − ½gt²
- Maximum height
- H = h + vy²/(2g)
- Range (level ground)
- R = v0²·sin 2θ/g
Practise Projectile motion
A calculator gives the answer. In the exam you need the method: practise it with new problems, hints and worked solutions.
