Wile e. coyote (carnivorous hungribilous) is chasing the roadrunner (speedibus cantcatchmi) yet again. while running down the road, they come to a deep gorge, 15 m straight across and 100 m deep. the roadrunner launches itself across the gorge at a launch angle of 15° above the horizontal, and lands with 1.5 m to spare.
(a) what was the roadrunner's launch speed? ignore air resistance.
(b) wiley coyote launches himself across the gorge with the same initial speed, but at a different launch angle. to his horror, he is short the other lip by 0.5 m. what was his launch angle? (assume that it was lower than 15°.)
