v^2 = (v)(cos 40) + 2 (-9.8) (6)
i don't think that is right at all though
and I don't know if 6 is even correct I feel like I need to put it into x and y components I just don't know how
I tried doing it in the x and y directions seperatley but I don't know how to figure out the Velocity in the x and y directions without having an original velocity to go with.
I tried doing the distance in the x and y directions in case that would help me somehow but it just kept coming out...
