A projectile is fired from the ground (you can assume the initial height is the same as the ground) in a field so there are no obstacles in its way. It is fired at an angle 36° with respect to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 41 m/s. Air resistance is negligible in this situation. Call up the positive y direction, and toward the wall the positive x direction. 1. What is the maximum height that the projectile reaches? 2.What is the speed of the projectile at its maximum height? 3. What is the earliest time when the height of the projectile is half of its maximum value?

A projectile is fired from the ground (you can assume the initial height is the same as the ground) in a field so there are no obstacles in its way. It is fired at an angle 36° with respect to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 41 m/s. Air resistance is negligible in this situation. Call up the positive y direction, and toward the wall the positive x direction.

1. What is the maximum height that the projectile reaches?

2.What is the speed of the projectile at its maximum height?

3. What is the earliest time when the height of the projectile is half of its maximum value?
