Lex launched a golfball with his lego catapult. It traveled 7 meters and was in the air for 2 seconds. Please determine the object’s maximum height, horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, actual velocity, and time it reached its maximum height. The angle of release (the catapult’s arm) is 40°. Horizontal Velocity = vx
Vertical Velocity = V1y
Actual Velocity: V1 = Vactual
Time reached highest point
Height reached!= h
