Problem
A ball is launched from ground level with an initial speed of 18ms−1 at an angle of 55∘ above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance and take the horizontal as the +x axis and upward as the +y axis.
(a) Determine the initial horizontal and vertical components of the ball’s velocity.
(b) Calculate the time required for the ball to reach its maximum height.
(c) Compute the maximum height reached by the ball relative to the launch point.
(d) Determine the horizontal range of the ball when it returns to the launch level.
