To find:
a. The rectangular equation of the trajectory and identify the curve.
To find:
b. To show that the projectile hits the ground when .
To find:
c. How far has the projectile traveled (horizontally) when it strikes the ground? In other words, find the range R.
To find:
d. Find the time when . Then find the horizontal distance and the vertical distance traveled by the projectile in this time. Then compute . This is the distance R, the range, that the projectile travels up a plane inclined at to the horizontal .
