The initial velocity, u = 300 m/s Angle, 0 640 Velocity along x-axis, u. = ucos0 300 cos640 = 131.5 1m/ s Velocity along y-axis, u, = usin 64° = 300 sin 64° = 269.64m /s Time of travel, t = 48s Along the X-coordinate, the velocity will be constant and along the Y-coordinate the velocity (y ) will have deacceleration due to gravity
X-coordinate
![After 48s, the x-coor dinate (x), where it explodes will be:
Distance Velocity x Time [as there is no acceleration]
(131.5m/ s)(48s)
