Problem 3.9

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 20 m/s as shown in the animation (position is given in meters).  Restart.  The time display is suppressed, but you can still click-drag to get coordinates.  A line is also shown that represents the initial direction of the velocity.

1. What is the launch angle?
2. What are v_0x and v_0y?
3. What is the maximum height the projectile will reach?
4. How long does it take the projectile to reach that height?
5. What is the total time that the projectile is in the air?
