Homework Statement


Iv'e been given a graphed parabola with each x interval at 0.1000s. From this I need to find R, Tt, H, V0, a and θ.

Homework Equations


Tt= 2 (Vsinθ/g)
R= (V2sin2θ)/g
H=(Vsinθ)2)/2g

The Attempt at a Solution


From observing the graph I know:
dx and dy at every 1/10 of a second.
Tt= 2.000s
R= 14.50cm
H= 10.00cm

From here I have no idea how to find V0 or θ. I'm not sure what one I have to find first in order to get the other. Any help is appreciated.

it sounds like you were given the distance that the object traveled and its max height through this graph

by looking at the x-direction and y-direction separately, you should be able to determine the initial velocity in both the x and y directions
