Answer

$v_{0y} = 19.6~m/s$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the value of $v_{0x} = 10~m/s$ When $v_s = 0$, then $\Delta x_{bg} = 40~m$ Thus the time of flight is $4.0~s$ The time to reach maximum height is $t_1 = 2.0~s$ We can find $v_{0y}$: $t_1 = \frac{v_{0y}}{g}$ $v_{0y} = g~t$ $v_{0y} = (9.8~m/s^2)(2.0~s)$ $v_{0y} = 19.6~m/s$
