00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.402
Here is the problem: A projectile is launched at 35 m/s at 30° from a height of 0 m. Find its time of flight, range and maximum height.

2
00:00:10.852 --> 00:00:20.744
Treat horizontal and vertical motion separately: constant velocity horizontally, constant downward acceleration g vertically, ignoring air resistance.

3
00:00:21.544 --> 00:00:24.110
Split the launch velocity into components.

4
00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:26.035
Time to the highest point.

5
00:00:26.484 --> 00:00:27.541
Maximum height.

6
00:00:27.990 --> 00:00:30.091
Time of flight (land at height 0).

7
00:00:30.891 --> 00:00:32.191
Horizontal range.

8
00:00:32.641 --> 00:00:33.872
Impact velocity.

9
00:00:34.672 --> 00:00:54.537
So the answer is Time of flight approximately 3.567788 s; range approximately 108.14283 m; maximum height approximately 15.609072 m; impact speed approximately 35 m/s.

10
00:00:54.987 --> 00:01:04.438
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
00:01:05.237 --> 00:01:17.474
Energy check: v squared at impact equals 1225 and v₀ squared plus 2gh₀ equals 1225 (equal).

12
00:01:17.924 --> 00:01:26.841
Level-ground formula: v₀ squared sin 2theta / g equals 108.14283 m.
