2. A projectile is
launched from the
top of a cliff above”
level ground on a
distant planet that
has no air
resistance. The
projectile is launched
from 2 meters at an
unknown angle. The
projectile's trajectory follows a path determined by the equations: py =—0.25x" +2x+2 and x=3t.
The projectile follows the path shown by the curved line in the diagram.
a) Derive an equation for the vertical component of velocity with respect to time.
