Hey, you try first. If you get stuck come back but there is no point in my just doing it for you.
In general
split problem into vertical and horizontal parts
Horizontal problem:
U, horizontal speed, does not change
U = speed * sin angle up
so range = U T
Vertical problem:
Vi = speed initial * cos angle up
v = Vi - g t
at top v = 0
so at top t = Vi/g
H = Hi + Vi t - (1/2) g t^2
Hi is initial height, use top t to get height
Now drop from that height
v down = 0 + g t
at bottom
0 = Height max - (1/2) g t^2
solve for t down
then time in air T = t rising + t falling
range = U T

Damon whoops
I mean U = speed * cos angle up
Vi = speed * sin angle up
Vi = speed * sin angle up

Caculate the time flight of a stone is projected at an angle of 60 degree and an initial velocity of 20m/s

Well since we want to find the time of fight we can say t =2Usin60°/g our initial velocity is 20m/s
Then we substitute t= 2( 20)sin60°
And sin60° is 0.866
2×20 = 40 so 40×0.866 = 34.6s
So therefore t=34.6s
Then we substitute t= 2( 20)sin60°
And sin60° is 0.866
2×20 = 40 so 40×0.866 = 34.6s
So therefore t=34.6s

Please the formula for calculating the maximum height

A stone is projected at an angle 60° and an initial velocity of 20 metre per second square. Determine the maximum horizontal distance covered
