Homework Statement



A projectile is launched at a 60° angle above the horizontal on level ground. The change in its velocity between launch and just before landing is found to be Δv = vlanding _ vlaunch = -20 y^ m/s .
What is the initial velocity of the Projectile ?
What is its final velocity just before landing ?

Homework Equations



Δv = vlanding _ vlaunch = -20 y^
m/s .
3.The attempt at a solution
I considered :
Vox - Vfx = 0 and Voy - Vfy = -20
knowing that V²fy - V²oy= -2g (Yf-Yo) But I couldn't go further

Yes , just saw it ! I edited the post !
I have no idea about Yf-Yo ,I couldn't guess it from the problem statement !
 
so V landing = 0 ?? Because we know that v = sqrt(Vo²-2g(Y-Yo))
