Homework Statement



A rock was thrown at the angle of 30 degrees against the horizontal surface, being given a velocity [itex]V_0=12m/s[/itex]. Find the largest height h and the Z - the range of the throw.

Homework Equations



[itex]h_{max}=\frac{v_0^2\cdot\sin^2\alpha}{2g}[/itex]
[itex]Z=\frac{v_0^2\cdot\sin 2\alpha}{g}[/itex]

The Attempt at a Solution



[itex]h_{max}=\frac{v_0^2\cdot\sin^2\alpha}{2g}=\frac{144*0,25}{2g}=2m[/itex]
[itex]Z=\frac{v_0^2\cdot\sin 2\alpha}{g}=\frac{144\sqrt{3}/2}{9,81}=12m[/itex]

Is that OK?

Looks fine to me, if you can use those equations directly.
 
I suppose I will be allowed to :) Thank you.
