Homework Statement
An object is shot from the origin with a velocity of 50.0 m/s at an angle of 40.0 degrees above the horizontal. What is the range of the object?
Homework Equations
All the 2D Motion equations - too many to write all out. Ex:
[tex] V_x = V_0x + a_xt [/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't even think there is enough information given to solve this. I can only solve for
[tex] V_x [/tex] which is [tex] 50 * cos 40 = 38.3 [/tex] from there I don't know where to go. I try to figure out the y components of this motion, but we don't really know anything about y. We can't really find [tex] V_y [/tex] because to find that we need the equation [tex] V_y = v_0 sin \theta - gt [/tex] but we don't know the time.
