In my homework, I am asked to derive an equation for V0.
The homework question is as follows: A howitzer fires a shell with a velocity of v0 at an angle Θ above the horizontal. The howitzer is on a plateau and the shell lands down in the plain below, a vertical distance d below the plateau and a horizontal distance L from where the howitzer is. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the initial velocity, V0, as a function of d, L, g, and Θ.
Any help would be appreciated as I have worked on this problem for quite a while and I am not making progress.
I know Bartleby policy, can you still answer all the questions.

- You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this statement, consider a ball thrown off the top of a building with a velocity v at an angle 0 with respect to the horizontal. Let the building be 54.0 m tall, the initial horizontal velocity be 9.10 m/s, and the initial vertical velocity be 10.5 m/s. Choose your coordinates such that the positive y-axis is upward, and the x-axis is to the right, and the origin is at the point where the ball is released. (a) With these choices, find the ball's maximum height above the ground and the time it takes to reach the maximum height. maximum height above ground time to reach maximum height (b) Repeat your calculations choosing the origin at the base of the building. maximum height above ground time to reach maximum heightarrow_forwardb) I(1, 0, 0), J(0, 1, 0), and K(0, 0, 1) 6, A helicopter takes off at a ground velocity of 150 km/h.
