    Need some help on a spring cannon problem

    vertically t=vysintheta/4.9 so 25=vi- vysintheta/4.9?? I'm just really needing to figure this out as I'm on a time crunch

    Need some help on a spring cannon problem

    25m=0+vi(t) +1/2axt2 so i have t=25/vcostheta, this is where i don't know how to solve for time

    Need some help on a spring cannon problem

    vx=vcos45 vy=vsin45 distance is 25m The problem is set up so i can't use energy to solve for the velocity the only equation i can really think of is vf2=vi2+2ax would i solve for the y component using a=-9.8??
