Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 52P
A ball is to be shot from level ground toward a wall at distance x (Fig. 4-43a). Figure 4-43b shows the y component vy of the ball’s velocity just as it would reach the wall, as a function of that distance x. The scaling is set by vys = 5.0 m/s and xs = 20 m. What is the launch angle?
