You are attempting to use a homemade cannon to launch a potato onto the roof of a 45 meter tall office building. You set up the cannon at ground level, 75 meters from the base of the building. At t = 0, the potato is launched with an initial speed of 38 meters per second at an angle of 55 degrees above the horizontal. At what time does the potato land on the roof? How far onto the roof does the potato land?

A projectile is launched with a launch angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal direction and with an initial speed of 26 m/s. How do the vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's velocity vary with time?The initial velocity in the x-direction vx0 is related to the initial speed by vx0 = v0 cos 30°. The constant velocity in the x-direction means that the equation describing the time dependence of x for the particle, with x0 taken as 0, is x = x0 + vx0t = 0 + m/s t. The equation for the vertical coordinate, which is constantly accelerating downward at g = 9.8 m/s2, is y = y0 + vy0t − 1 2 gt2 = m/s t + m/s2 t2.
