Solution Summary

This solution calculates the horizontal distance traveled by a shot with a given mass, speed, angle and height.

Solution Preview

For the vertical movement, the initial velocity of the shot is Vy when it is thrown upward. When it reaches the highest point, the vertical velocity is zero.

Vy=V*sin(theta)=14*sin(40 degree)= 9 ...
