A daredevil is shot out of a cannon at 45.0° to the horizontal with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s. A net is positioned a horizontal distance of 51.0 m from the cannon. At what height above the cannon should the net be placed in order to catch the daredevil?
_____m

Find time.
x = Vo(t)
51 = 30cos45(t)
t = 2.40
Find m (y).
y = yo + Vo(t) + (1/2)(a)(t^2)
y = 30(sin45)(2.4) - (4.9)(2.4)^2
y = 22.7 m <-- Answer
