Homework Statement
A stone is thrown down a slope. I am given the Range of the slope and the max height from spot thrown.
R= 50m
h= 12m
Homework Equations
I need to determine the magnitude of Vo and inital theta.
The Attempt at a Solution
First I need to find V_o:
I feel that the only relevant portion to find the initial velocity is from the spot thrown to the max height where V_yo is 0. I broke up the components of velocity so that:
V_xo=vcos(theta)
V_yo=vsin(theta)
However, I'm lost after this because I don't know t. My first idea was to find t, but I was having problems finding an equation that doesn't use v, theta, in a time equation.
My second idea was to find an equation that avoids time such as v_y^2=V_yo^2-g(y-yo).
I haven't attempted the initial theta part yet.
