Physics

A rock is thrown at a window that is located at a heighth = 36.33 m above the ground. The rock is thrown at anangle of θ above horizontal. The rock is thrown at time 0seconds from a height of hi = 2.00 m above theground with an initial speed of v0 andexperiences no appreciable air resistance. After t = 2.0 seconds,let the velocity of the rock be v =(15.00i + 6.38 j ̂)m/s, wherex-axis is a horizontal axis and y-axis isvertical and positive upward.

Write the expression for the y-component of the initialvelocity in terms of the time t, the velocity at timet (vy), and the gravitationacceleration g.

Find the initial speed in m/s.

Find the initial angle with the horizontal in degrees.

If the rock strikes the window on its downward trajectory,calculate the time (call it tw) measured inseconds at which it will hit the window.

Calculate the horizontal distance in meters from where it wasinitially thrown to the window.

What was the maximum height (measured from the ground in meters)the rock has reached?
