Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I haven't gotten very far at all. I'm not sure how to even start this one. I know that because the angle is 30 degrees:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}i + k)[/tex]
The above is the only bit of info that I'm sure I should use in this problem. The rest of this is just to show you what I actually know...I'm not sure if the following will help me solve this problem or not...
[tex]\\a(t) =-gi[/tex]
Sorry If I'm not giving you much to work with. Any thing to help get me started would be much appreciated!
