About this lesson

Type 1 – Projectile at an Upward Angle
A projectile is launched from the edge of a cliff 100 m above ground level with an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. Find:
projectile launched off cliff
the horizontal and vertical components of the launch speed.
