The trajectory of a projectile is given by y=x tantheta-(1)/(2)(gx^(2))/(u^(2)cos^(2)theta) . This equation can be used for calculating various phenomen such as finding the minimum velocity required to make a stone reach a certain point maximum range for a given projection velocity and the angle of projection required for maximum range. The range of a particle thrown from a tower is define as the distance the root of the tower and the point of landing. A tower is at a distance of 5m from a man who can throw a stone with a maximum speed of 10m//s . What is the maximum height that the man can hit on this tower.
