A projectile of 1 kg of mass is launched and reaches its horizontal range of 2700 m. The launching angle is 53°, see the figure below!
Find the highest point reached by this bullet!
Shortcut
Use the quick relationship of the highest point, the horizontal range (maximum distance) and the launching angle as below:
