00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.797
Here is the problem: A projectile is launched at 25 m/s at 60° from a height of 0 m. Find its time of flight, range and maximum height.

2
00:00:11.247 --> 00:00:21.499
Treat horizontal and vertical motion separately: constant velocity horizontally, constant downward acceleration g vertically, ignoring air resistance.

3
00:00:22.299 --> 00:00:24.900
Split the launch velocity into components.

4
00:00:25.350 --> 00:00:26.778
Time to the highest point.

5
00:00:27.228 --> 00:00:28.285
Maximum height.

6
00:00:28.734 --> 00:00:30.789
Time of flight (land at height 0).

7
00:00:31.589 --> 00:00:32.936
Horizontal range.

8
00:00:33.386 --> 00:00:34.640
Impact velocity.

9
00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:55.607
So the answer is Time of flight approximately 4.4139929 s; range approximately 55.174911 m; maximum height approximately 23.891437 m; impact speed approximately 25 m/s.

10
00:00:56.056 --> 00:01:05.518
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
00:01:06.318 --> 00:01:16.825
Energy check: v squared at impact equals 625 and v₀ squared plus 2gh₀ equals 625 (equal).

12
00:01:17.275 --> 00:01:25.959
Level-ground formula: v₀ squared sin 2theta / g equals 55.174911 m.
