    Wouldn't it cancel off of both sides? I don't know. I'm not good at this at all and I have a test in three hours. I don't know how to solve this problem and I really need to be pointed in the right direction for this if someone can please help.

    Can Physics Save the Hospital from Mortar Fire?

    I tried to set y1 (elderly) = y 2 (enthusiasts) and that didn't work either (v1*sinθ1)t - 1/2(gt2) = 50 + (v2*sinθ2)t - 1/2(gt2) 100*sin53.13 = 50 + v2 * sin36.87 30 = v2 * sin36.87 50 = v2

    Can Physics Save the Hospital from Mortar Fire?

    A group of elderly, hospital-hating street toughs fire a mortar at a local children's hospital 960m away. The projectile has a muzzle speed of 100m/s and is directed 53.13 degrees above the horizontal. At the same instant, a contingent of concerned physics enthusiasts, knowing full well that...
