Answer:
5.77 s
Explanation:
From the question,
The total time travelled by the projectile = Time of flight (T)
T = 2usinθ/g............ Equation 1
Where T = Time of Flight of the projectile, u = Initial velocity, θ = Angle of projection to the horizontal, g = acceleration due to gravity
Given: u = 40 m/s, θ = 45°
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
T = 2(40)sin(45°)/9.8
T = 80sin(45°)/9.8
T = 80×0.7071/9.8
T = 5.77 s
