That is what is bothering me. I solved the following problem first and then used those values to create the problem I wrote above. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 25.0 m/s at an angle of 48 degrees. How long did the projectile fly through the air before hitting a target placed...

I set it up like so: A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 25.0 m/s at an unknown angle. The projectile flew through the air for 2.0 seconds before hitting a target placed 33.0 meters away at the same height as the launch height. Solve for the unknown angle. As I said in the...
