1. Dh = Vo^2*sin(2A) / g,
Dh = (11.2)^2*sin50.4 / 9.8 = 9.86m.
2. Yo = ver. = 11.2sin25.2 = 4.77m/s.
h = (Yf^2 - Yo^2) / -19.6,
h = (0 - (4.77)^2) / -19.6 = 1.161m
Dh = (11.2)^2*sin50.4 / 9.8 = 9.86m.
2. Yo = ver. = 11.2sin25.2 = 4.77m/s.
h = (Yf^2 - Yo^2) / -19.6,
h = (0 - (4.77)^2) / -19.6 = 1.161m
