A stone is thrown with an angle of 530 to the horizontal with an initial velocity of 20 m/s, assume g=10 m/s2. Calculate: a) The time it will stay in the air? b) How far will the stone travel before it hits the ground (the range)? c) What will be the maximum height the stone will reach?
A baseball, cannonball, or other projectile launched at a 45° angle above the horizon will achieve maximum horizontal range. A projectile launched straight up will achieve maximum altitude, but you kind of have to watch it and be careful when it returns.
