Answer

a) The total time of flight = 4.315 s

b) The maximum height reached = 22.83 m

Step-by-step explanation

a) The total time of flight for a projectile or the total time spent in the air by a projectile is given by the formula


T=(2V\sin \alpha)/(g)

where

T = Total time of flight of the projectile = ?

V = Initial launch velocity of the projectile = 40 m/s

α = Angle of launch withrespect to the horizontal = 34°

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²


T=(2*40*\sin 34)/(9.81)=4.315\text{ s}

b) The maximum height reached by a projectiole is given as


H=(V^2\sin ^2\alpha)/(2g)

H = Maximum height reached by the projectile

V = Initial launch velocity of the projectile = 40 m/s

α = Angle of launch withrespect to the horizontal = 34°

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²


H=(40^2\sin ^234)/(2*9.81)=22.83\text{ m}

Hope this Helps!!!
