Answer:

35.67 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the formular for range,

R = u²sin2∅/g....................... Equation 1

Where R = Range, u = Initial Velocity, ∅ = angle of launch, g = acceleration due to gravity

make u the subject of the equation

u = √(Rg/sin2∅)............. Equation 2

Given: R = 122 m, g = 9.8 m/s², ∅ = 55°

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = √[(122×9.8)/(sin(2×55))]

u = √(1195.6/sin110)

u = √(1272.33)

u = 35.67 m/s
