Question

1. During a medieval siege of a castle, the attacking army uses a trebuchet to hurl heavy stones at the castle walls. If the trebuchet launches the stones with a velocity of +30.0 m/s at an angle of 50.0°, how long does it take the stone to hit the ground? What is the maximum distance that the trebuchet can be from the castle wall to be in range? How high will the stones go?

Answer 1

break the initial velocity into individual horizontal and vertical components (use right triangles) and solve using the equations of motion in each direction

Answer 2

how do I do that?
