This problem involved half projectile.
initial velocity, vo = 20 m/s
time of flight, t = 7 s
(a) Simply use the formula to get the height, h:
h = vo*t - (1/2)gt^2
(b) To get the final vertical velocity or terminal velocity (vf), use the formula:
(vf)^2 - (vo)^2 = 2gh
(c) Use the formula find the horizontal distance traveled, R:
R = vo * cos(θ) * t
But since the angle involved with respect to horizontal is zero, and cos(0) = 1, we have
R = vo * t
Hope this helps~ `u`

But what's g?
