<h2>
After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.</h2>
Explanation:
Initial velocity = 450 ft/s = 137.16 m/s
Angle, θ = 70°
Consider the vertical motion of projectile,
When the projectile return to the ground we have
Displacement, s = 0 m
Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²
Initial velocity, u = 137.16 x sin70 = 128.89 m/s
Substituting in s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = ut + 0.5 at²
0 = 128.89 x t + 0.5 x (-9.81) x t²
t² - 26.28 t = 0
t ( t- 26.28) = 0
t = 0 s or t = 26.28 s
After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.
