A projectile is launched vertically from a launch pad with an unknown initial velocity, V0. An unknown time, T, later, an observer is in a pickup which is traveling in such a way that the angle of elevation to the projectile is 22° and increasing at 2° per second. When the pickup is 750 m away from the launch pad, it is moving away from the launch pad at 25 m/sec.
A) Find the initial velocity, V0.
B) Find the time, T, since launch.
C) Find the projectile’s maximum height.
D) Find the time until the projectile hits the ground again. Calculate all of these to 3 decimal places.
h(t) = -4.9t2 + V0 t , and that v(t) = h‘(t).
