1. Use the formula for the maximum height of a projectile to mathematically verify the following
statement from Galileo: (5 points)
ital reaches a maximum
A projectile fired at a given initial speed at an angle et to the horic
height of 5000 if « = 45°, then with the same initial speed it will reach a height of 2499 when
= 30° and a height of 7502 whena=60. 5 > \p= initiatvetecity
