Question

A projectile is launched from a height H above the ground with speed V0 at an angle ao above the horizontal. In this problem, use a coordinate system where +y direction is upward. the+x direction is along the horizontal and to the right, and the x-coordinate of the projectile is initially zero.

In this example, the maximum height reached by the projectile and the range of a projectile was calculated for a projectile launched from a height H above the ground and at an angle aabove the horizontal line. Calculate the time of flight, range, R, and maximum height, yMAX, reached by the projectile for the following special cases: 

  1. a)   Case 1: The projectile launched from the ground (H=0)
  2. b)   Case 2: The projectile is launched horizontally (a= 0)
