You use a slingshot to launch a potato horizontally from the edge of a cliff with speed υ0. The acceleration due to gravity is g. Take the origin at the launch point. (a) How long after you launch the potato has it moved as far horizontally from the launch point as it has moved vertically? What are the coordinates of the potato at this time? (b) How long after you launch the potato is it moving in a direction exactly 45° below the horizontal? What are the coordinates of the potato at this time?
