the shot put, a heavy lead weight—the "shot"—is given an initial velocity, starting from an initial elevation approximately equal to the shot putter's height, say, 1.78 m. If v0 = 8.35 m/s, find the horizontal distance traveled by the shot for the following initial angles above the horizontal. (a) ?0 = 0° (b) ?0 = 40.0°
