a. Range = Vo^2*sin(2A)/g = 400 Ft.
Vo^2*sin(60)/32 = 400.
0.02706Vo^2 = 400.
Vo^2 = 14,782.
Vo = 122 Ft./s.
b. Yo = Vo*sin A = 122*sin30 = 61 Ft/s. = Ver. component of initial velocity.
Y^2 = Yo^2 + 2g*h = 0.
h = -(Yo^2)/2g = -(61^2)/-64 = 58.1 Ft.
c. Xo = Vo*Cos A=122*Cos30 = 105.7 Ft/s.
= Hor. component of initial velocity.
Range = Xo*T = 400 Ft.
105.7 * T = 400.
T = 3.78 s.
