Chapter 3, Problem 45(choose chapter or problem)
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speed of the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0 above the horizontal? (Although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45 when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38 will give a longer range than 45 in the shot put.)
