Find angle of projectile from equation 15*9.8
(-------) + Vz^2 = 10^2
^ Vz+√Vz^2-8*9.8
Vz^ / It is a 2d motion problem.
| / Find Vz, then Vx (which is the left term, the fraction one)
| / 10m/s to find angle at which projectile was shot.
| / To do check, I basically did the above equation into
| / Vz=10^2-Vx^2, but no matter what I do, my results
|)__________>Vx of Vz always ends up in the end making Vz^2+Vx^2
not equal 10, and always greater than 10 in my three days attempt at this, and in the end, it turns into a jumble of mess, as I have also turned up with imaginary numbers in the middle of the steps. So, the problem is, how to solve the above equation so that I can find angle by tangenting Vz/Vx, and is it supposed to come out with imaginary number? I am only slightly familiar with complex numbers, so I can't progress further,
