Question:

A shot is thrown from a height of h = 6 feet with an initial speed of V0 = 45 feet per second and at an angle of θ = 42.5° with the horizontal. Use the result of Exercise 41 to find the total time of travel and the total horizontal distance traveled.


Data from in Exercise 41

The path of a shot thrown at an angle θ is

where v0 is the initial speed, h is the initial height, t is the time in seconds, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Verify that the shot will remain in the air for a total of

and will travel a horizontal distance of
