A boy fires a "BB" gun at an angle of 28o above the horizontal. The "BB" strikes a target that is a vertical distance of 1.6 meters above and 12.8 meters to the right of the muzzle (exit point) of the gun. Assuming the bullet has a negative vertical velocity when it strikes the target, calculate the bullet's velocity when it leaves the gun.
i tried everything that i could think of, using trig to figure out
Vx=Vy/tan(28) and therefore Vy/tan(28)=12.8
anything that i would plug into the y=VoT + 1/2(a)(Tsqrd) i would get a negative square root
Thanks in Advance
