You shoot an arrow into the air at an initial velocity of 12.5m/s at an angle of 40º.
Given:
Initial launch velocity of the arrow,
Launch angle,
-------------
Find the maximum height the arrow reaches in the air.
Use formula
ANSWER:
============================
Find the time it takes to reach its maximum height.
Consider the vertical motion of the arrow
Use formula
At maximum height, vertical velocity becomes zero
Initially, the arrow is going up and g is acting downwards. So put a negative sign for g.
