A projectile leaves the ground at 150 m/s and reaches a maximum height of 0.57 km. If there was no air resistance, at what angle above the horizontal did it leave the ground?
A secret agent skis off a slope inclined at θ = 31.5 degrees below horizontal at a speed of v0 = 16.5 m/s. He must clear a gorge, and the slope on the other side of the gorge is h = 10.2 m below the edge of the upper slope.
What is the maximum width so that the agent clears it
