A shell is fired from the ground with an initial speed of 1660 m/s at an initial angle of 52° to the horizontal.
(a) Neglecting air resistance, find the shell's horizontal range.
(b) Find the amount of time the shell is in motion.
(a) Neglecting air resistance, find the shell's horizontal range.
(b) Find the amount of time the shell is in motion.

a) Range = Vi^2(sin 2l) /g, = 272,831.3 metres.
b) Time = 2((sinL*Vi)/g), = 266.96 secs.
b) Time = 2((sinL*Vi)/g), = 266.96 secs.
