Question

A T-shirt is launched at an angle of 30° with an initial velocity of 25 m/s how long does it take to reach the peak? How long is it in the air for totally?

Answer 1

Answer:

The launched angle θ = 30 degrees, the initial velocity Vo = 20 m/s, the initial horizontal velocity Vox= ?, the initial vertical velocity Voy = ?, the time of flight t = ? the maximum height h = ?

Vox = Vo * (cos of 30 degrees)

Voy = Vo * (sin of 30 degrees)

t = 2 * (Voy / g)

h = Voy * 0.5 t - 1/2 g * (0.5t)^2

I have given the equations for you to use, just plug – in the values and then solve in a step by step manner.
