1 ... time up equals time down equals T ...100 = 1/2 g T^2
... the flight time is ... 2 T
2 ... 50 sin(Θ) = g T
3 ... range = 2 * T * 50 * cos(Θ)

vertical problem first
No need for anything but g = 9.81 m/s^2 and max height is 100 m
We will get the initial vertical speed Vi
v = Vi - 9.81 t
v = 0 at top
Vi = 9.81 t
h = Hi + Vi t - 4.9 t^2
100 = 0 + 9.81 t^2 - 4.9 t^2
4.9 t^2 = 100
t = 4.52 seconds upward (total of 9.04 in air)
Vi = 9.81*4.52 = 44.3 m/s initial speed upward
so
sin theta = 44.3 / 50
theta = 62.4deg above horizontal

Horizontal problem
goes at 50 cos 62.4 for 9.04 seconds
u = 23.2 m/s and x = 209 meters
