Suppose the stone is thrown at an angle of 39.0° below the horizontal from the same building as in the Example above. If it strikes the ground 47.8 m away, find the following. (Hint: For part (a), use the equation for the x-displacement to eliminate v0t from the equation for the y-displacement.)
Athe time of flight
s
The x coordinate as a function of time is x(t) = vcos(39.0)t, so the initial speed is v0 = Δx/(cos 39.0Δt), where Δx = 47.8 and Δt is the time of flight. Insert this into your equation for y(t) and solve for the time of flight.
