Question
A projectile is launched from ground level traveling at a speed of 28.6 m/s and at an angle of 27.6º above horizontal. Assume that air-resistance can be ignored. The projectile is launched toward a vertical wall that is a horizontal distance of 32.6 m from where the projectile is launched. How hig above the ground does the projectile strike the wall?

The rock leaves the catapult from a height H of 33.0 m above sea level, directed at an angle e above the horizontal with an unknown speed vo. The projectile remains in flight for 6.00 seconds and travels a horizontal distance D of 145.0 m. Assuming that air friction can be neglected, calculate the value of the angle 0. 55.299° You know how long the rock is in the air. This yields its horizontal velocity from the horizontal distance it travels. You get the vertical component of the velocity by using the equation of motion with constant acceleration. From the two velocity components you can figure out the angle. Incorrect.
