Concerning the initial projectile problem I go over. This first part goes over parts 1-5.

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 50 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal on a long flat firing range.

1. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the object’s initial velocity.

2. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the object’s velocity when it reaches maximum height?

3. Find the time to reach that maximum height.

4. Find the height of that highest peak.

5. What is the total time for the object to be in the air?

6. What is the range of the projectile at this angle?

7. What are the x and y components of the velocity after 1.5s after being fired at the given angle?

8. What is the observed velocity of the projectile after 1.5s?

9. What is the maximum Range of the gun firing the projectile (when does the gun reach its maximum range?

10. What other angle will produce the same range as 35 degrees?
