Thanks a lot for the help. I finally saw what you meant, ironically while going through it again on my own. So it turns out I was just being extremely dense, but thank you for pointing out the obvious for me. It seems that was just what I needed.

I do know that method, and maybe I'm just being really dense for some reason, but I'm just not seeing how I can properly apply it here. I've been looking over this problem for the last few hours, and I'm just not seeing how I can connect these equations and make this work. Part of the problem I...

cos(35) = 0.82, sin(35) = 0.57 x = 0.82(v)(t) y = 35 + 0.57(v)(t)-16t^2 0 = 0.82(v)(t) 0 = 0.57(v)(t) - 16t^2 0.82(v)(t) = 0.57(v)(t) - 16t^2 16t^2 - 0.25(v)(t) = 0 At which point I'm stuck, because I would complete the square, but the v gets in the way of that. or v(t) = 0.82vi...

Homework Statement A cannonball is fired from a point 35ft above ground level at an angle of 35 degrees. It hits the ground 100ft away. Calculate its travel time, initial speed, and maximum height above the ground. initial height = h = 35ft angle = x = 35 degrees gravity = g = 32ft/s^2...
