Answer

$\textbf{(a)}$ $$v_h=14.3\text{ m/s}.$$ $\textbf{(b)}$ $$t_f=2.23\text{ s}.$$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $v_{\circ x}=v_{\circ} cos\theta$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v_{\circ x}=(18m/s)(cos37.5^{\circ})$ $v_{\circ x}=14.3m/s$ (b) We know that $t=\frac{2v_{\circ}sin\theta}{g}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{(2)(18m/s)(sin 37.5^{\circ})}{9.8m/s^2}$ $t=2.23s$
