Homework Statement
A cannon fires a ball at 140 m/s
at an angle of 35 degrees above
the horizontal.
• Find the position of the ball 9.25
seconds after launch.
• Find its velocity 9.25 seconds after
launch.
• Is the ball on its way up or down?
• How long does it take the ball to
arrive at the same level as it was
launched?
• What is its velocity when it arrives at
the same level as it was launched?
• What is the angle at which it arrives
at the same level as it was launched?

Hello Ovreberg, :welcome: !

Please read the guidelines: if you expect helpers to decipher things like
1570380500496.png
you did not understand them. Either type your work (preferred) or post a very clear picture with textual explanation what you do.

What is your question ?

I can decipher a ##\vec v = \sqrt{...}## which can't be right: LHS is a vector and RHS is a scalar !
 
Hello!

It is easy to type in formulas on PF, have a look on how it is done:
https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/Images if necessary are better seen, if it is the only focus. But mspaint and an upload will do in many cases.
