or anyone else who wants to give it a shot...
I was looking through files I had saved, and came across the Kitten Cannon, and I just got to thinking about projectiles and such, and came up with the following question:
If you were to launch a projectile at a 15° launch angle, at what velocity would you have to fire it, in order for it to go a distance of 100 meters across a flat area?
(Assume no wind resistance, no curvature of the earth, and the launch point is at ground level.)
Please show all work.
Bonus points for indicating how high it would be at its highest point.
What can I say, I was bored today.
