Homework Statement
A grasshopper jumps 1.00 meters from rest, with an initial velocity at a 45.0° angle with respect to the horizontal. Find (a) the initial speed of the grasshopper and (b) the maximum height reached.
Homework Equations
vx = v0xt = v0cos θ0
vy = v0 sin θ0 - gt
The Attempt at a Solution
I was unsure what to do, so I resolved for the components, resulting in
v0x = v0 cos 45°
v0y = v0 sin 45°
I apologize for my cluelessness - this my first semester in physics (at all), and I am having trouble finding where to go about this problem. Thank you in advance.
