- A projectile is launched from the roof of a 10 m high building. The projectile is launched with initial velocity %0 = 60 m/s and a shooting angle with respect to the horizontal 0 = 50° Find: a) The maximum height of the projectile. b) The time it takes for the projectile to reach the maximum height. c) The horizontal distance between the base of the building and the point where the projectile hits the ground. d) The time elapsed between when the projectile is fired and when it hits the ground.arrow_forwardThe drawing shows an exaggerated view of a rifle that has been 'sighted in' for a 91.4-meter target. If the muzzle speed of the bullet is Vo = 309 m/s, there are the two possible angles 0₁ and 02 between the rifle barrel and the horizontal such that the bullet will hit the target. One of these angles is so large that it is never used in target shooting. Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle.
