no calculus needed. Just plug in your formulas:
h(x) = tanθ x - g/(2 (v cosθ)^2) x^2
= 0.75x - .0000547 x^2
That is just a parabola with vertex at
(6855.6,2570.8)
I expect you can find x when h=0.
A pistol is shot upwards at an angle of 37 degrees above horizontal, with an initial velocity of 375m/s. What height does it reach? What is its horizontal range?
(I pretty much know what formulas to use, but I'm not quite sure HOW to use them.. Also you should know that this is Freshman Physics so we don't use calculus.
Thank you)
