You're right, I did use voy=vox to cancel things out in the step 15=voy(-xo/vox)-.5g(-xo/vox)^2. Not using that assumption, I get down to 15=-xotan(q)-.5g(-xo/(vocos(q)))2. Where do I go from here. I'm like completely lost in this problem now... Thanks again, Mike

Thanks nvn. I've spent about an hour now trying to manipulate the equations into a general form. But I always end up with two variables (q and xo) and am not able to substitute one for the other. Am I missing something here? Maybe I've misunderstood what you mean...

Homework Statement Hi, I am doing an end of the year calculus presentation on projectile motion in human cannonballs. As an introduction to the projectile motion equations, my group found this problem: The original problem with a figure of it can be found...
