An object is launched over level ground at 35 degrees above the horizontal
with an initial speed of 52 m/s. What is the time of flight?
~~~~~~~~~~~~


Calculate vertical component of the speed  V%5Bvert%5D = 52*sin(35°)  meters per second.


Then the time flying up to the highest point is  t = V%5Bvert%5D%2Fg  seconds,   where g is the gravity acceleration.


The time falling dawn is the same value.


THREFORE, the total time of flight is  2t = %282%2AV%5Bvert%5D%29%2Fg.



All calculations are ELEMENTARY, so I leave them to you.
