Homework Statement
A spring-loaded gun can fire a projectile to a height h if it is fired straight up.
If the same gun is pointed at an angle of 45 degrees from the vertical, what maximum height can now be reached by the projectile.
1. h _
2. h / 2\/2
3. h / 2 _
4. h / \/2
5. h / 4
2. The attempt at a solution
I believe it would be h / 2, but I'm not sure why other than the fact that 90/2=45 and the heights would therefore be relative.
