Question

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will your piece of paper travel if you throw it with a velocity of 1.4 m/s at an angle of 36? (Assume no air resistance and that the paper lands at the same height you threw it from.)

A. 0.77 m
B. 0.48 m
C. 0.19 m
D. 0.25 m

Answer 1

There's a useful formula for projectiles (with no air resistance, etc) that is pretty simple to demonstrate:
Horizontal distance of the projectile = \[Distance = \frac{ V_{0}^{2} }{ g}2\sin \theta \cos \theta\]
That'll help :D
