A ball is thrown with an initial speed Vi at an angle ¤, with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R, and the ball reaches a maximum height R/6. In terms of R and g find. (a)the time interval during which the ball is in motion

(b)the ball's speed at the peak of its path

(c)the initial vertical component of its velocity

(d)it's initial speed and the angle ¤

(e)suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed found in (d) but the angle for reaching the greatest height that it can. Find this height

(f)suppose the ball is thrown at the same initial speed but at the angle for reaching the greatest possible range. Find this maximum horizontal range
