ohh, alright. Completely makes sense that way. Thank you for your help.

yes, I know the maximum height and range of the water. But I do not see how i can get the initial velocities from this. Are you referring to the equations, Xf=Vi*t*cos(θ) and Yf=Vi*t*sin(θ)-.5gt^2? Still kind of confused, sorry

How would i work with these initial components for this problem? wouldn't i still need to know initial velocity in this case?

Homework Statement Upon spotting an insect on a twig overhanging water, an archer fish squirts water drops at the insect to knock it into the water (Fig. 4 -38). Although the fish sees the insect along a straight-line path at angle f and distance d, a drop must be launched at a different angle...
