Homework Statement
The ball is now thrown with the same speed at an angel of 35 deg upward. How far does it travel?
My question is...
They have
vhor = (25 m/s) cos 35 deg = 20.5 m/s
and
The angel with the vertical is (90 - 35) = 55 deg
so...
vvert = (25 m/s) cos 55 deg = 14.3
It seems backwards to me for some reason because it says that the ball was thrown at a angel of 35 deg upward.
Can someone help me understand why 35 deg is tacked onto the horizontal while 55 is tacked onto the vertical?
