Here is the problem: A projectile is launched at 22 m/s at 75° from a height of 0 m. Find its time of flight, range and maximum height.

2
00:00:11.665 --> 00:00:21.696
Treat horizontal and vertical motion separately: constant velocity horizontally, constant downward acceleration g vertically, ignoring air resistance.

3
00:00:22.496 --> 00:00:25.039
Split the launch velocity into components.

4
00:00:25.489 --> 00:00:26.917
Time to the highest point.

5
00:00:27.367 --> 00:00:28.458
Maximum height.

6
00:00:28.908 --> 00:00:30.963
Time of flight (land at height 0).

7
00:00:31.763 --> 00:00:33.133
Horizontal range.

8
00:00:33.583 --> 00:00:34.825
Impact velocity.

9
00:00:35.625 --> 00:00:55.374
So the answer is Time of flight approximately 4.332389 s; range approximately 24.668705 m; maximum height approximately 23.016215 m; impact speed approximately 22 m/s.

10
00:00:55.824 --> 00:01:05.205
Without air resistance the horizontal velocity never changes, while the vertical velocity falls by g every second. The flight ends when the height returns to zero.

11
00:01:06.005 --> 00:01:16.187
Energy check: v squared at impact equals 484 and v₀ squared plus 2gh₀ equals 484 (equal).

12
00:01:16.637 --> 00:01:26.540
Level-ground formula: v₀ squared sin 2theta / g equals 24.668705 m.
