Mt. Asama, Japan, is an active volcano. In 2009, an eruption threw solid volcanic rocks that landed 1 km horizontally from the crater. If the volcanic rocks were launched at an angle of 44° with respect to the horizontal and landed 905 m below the crater, find the following. (a)their initial velocity (Enter the magnitude in m/s.) (b)their time of flight (in s)
