After an intense battle against physics test, some guy goes to his dorm, exhausted and wounded. While eating his hybrid beetle- cockroach stumbling around. In a quick relocation plan, the guy gives it a gentle flick:(see attachment for diagram):

The bug is flicked at a 45 degree angle with an initial velocity of 2 m/s. If the bug lands at the same elevation.

(see diagram in attachment)

a) How high does it go, vertically?
b) Where does it land?

Solution Preview

Given,
The bug is flicked at an angle 45Degree and an initial velocity of 2 m/s.

That is, Theta = 45

and u = 2 m/s

a) Now, we need to find out how high it goes vertically. This is the maximum ...
