Question
help please
You have a homemade catapult that launches all objects (of any mass) at an initial velocity of 25.0 m/s, and can only launch at an angle of 35.0 degree above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance throughout this problem. Calculate v0x and v0y (the x- and y-components of the initial velocity, v0) for the object as it leaves the catapult. Show your work. Suppose that you use the catapult to launch an object on level ground, so that the object lands at the same height from which it was launched. What is the object's total time of flight? Show and clearly explain your work. Using your catapult, what is the greatest possible height that an object can roach (above the level from which it is launched)?
Explanation / Answer
