A locust jumps at an angle of 55.0 and lands 0.800 m from where it jumped. (a) What is the maximum height of the locust during its jump? Ignore air resistance and assume g = 9.8 m/s2 (b) If it jumps with the same initial speed at an angle of 45.0, would the maximum height be larger or smaller? (c) Calculate the maximum height and range for this angle.
