A marshmallow is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 41.5 m/s at an

angle of 33.5° above the horizontal. (a) Determine the maximum height reached
by the marshmallow. (b) Determine the horizontal range that the marshmallow
travels during its flight.

Look at picture first I couldn’t fit it all in but after you get the time get all the x values that you have and sub into s=ut+1/at^2

S=? t=2.34 a=0 u=41.5cos(33.5)
s= (41.5cos(33.5))(2.34)+1/2(0)
s=80.98 meters
this is the horizontal range
