can be written as \mathbf{v}_0 = v_{0x}\mathbf{i} + v_{0y}\mathbf{j}. The components v0x and v0y can be found if the angle‚ ϴ is known: v_{0x} = vgh_0\cos\theta‚ v_{0y} = v_0\sin\theta. If the projectile’s range‚ launch angle‚ and drop height are known‚ launch velocity can be found by V_0 = \sqrt{{R^2 g} \over {R \sin 2\theta + 2h \cos^2\theta}} . The launch angle is usually expressed by the symbol theta‚ but often the symbol alpha is used. Kinematic quantities of projectile motion

I chose Washington Heights because that is where I was raised and The Upper East Side because that is where I want to live when I am older. When I arrive in Washington Heights‚ I can expect to hear music blasting‚ smell the many different kinds of food and a very crowded place; likewise in the Upper East Side‚ I expect to see many fancy‚ tall buildings and expensive stores. Washington Heights is a part of Manhattan primarily full of Dominicans‚ though this was not always the case. Back in the early
