Question

An object is projected upward from ground level at an angle (Theta) and the air resistance is negligible. If the initial​ velocity, v0​, of the object is given in​ ft/sec and time t is measured in​ seconds, then the formulas for the​ object's height h and the horizontal distance traveled​ (the range) d after t seconds into flight are as follows.

h= Vt sin (Theta) - 16t2                
d = tv0 cos (Theta) 

If (Theta) = 30 (Degrees) and the initial velocity is 140 ft/sec what is the following?

​(a) The​ object's maximum height.
​(b) The​ object's range.
