A shot-putter throws the shot with an initial speed of 4.0 m/s from a height of 4.7 ft above the ground. Calculate the range of the shot for each of the following launch angles.

Answer 1

You have provided no launch angles.

Write down the equation for range in terms of launch angle, Vo, g and initial height, and solve.

Make sure you convert 4.7 ft to 1.43 m.
