Do i need to find the x and y components?

Click For Summary
When a ball is shot at an angle of 55 degrees, its time in the air will be shorter compared to a vertical shot. The initial vertical velocity can be calculated by reducing the vertical component based on the launch angle. An algebraic expression for the initial vertical velocity is sufficient for the problem, rather than a numerical value. The given time of 1.34 seconds can be incorporated into the calculations to determine the impact of the angle on flight duration. Understanding these components is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Welcome to PF. :smile:

You are given how long the ball stays in the air when shot vertically. What is different when it is shot up at an angle of 55 degrees? It will stay in the air a shorter time, but by how much? What is the initial vertical velocity reduced to when the launch angle is 55 degrees?
 
To @crism7 : Note that @berkeman is not expecting you to find a number for the initial vertical velocity. An algebraic expression will be sufficient. Then see how you can work the given 1.34 s into it.

Thread 'Bernoulli vs real life experiment'

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
