    Finding an angle of a projectile for a specific distance

    Homework Statement A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the water land 2.0m away. Why are there two different angles? Homework Equations v=v0 +at v^2=v0^2 +2ad d=V0t+1/2at^2 The Attempt at a...
