A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 40 m/s at angle of 23 degrees above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine (1) the maximum vertical distance reached by the projectile, (2) the total time in the air, (3) the range of the projectile, (4) the velocity of the projectile 2 s after firing.
