Physics

To find the maximum height of a projectile launched at a 40° angle from the top of a mountain, considering a 10% reduction in vertical velocity due to wind during ascent, follow these steps:

 

Calculate Initial Velocity Components

Initial Vertical Velocity ():

 

Adjust for Wind:

The vertical velocity is reduced by 10% during ascent:

 

Calculate Maximum Height

To find the maximum height (), use the kinematic equation that relates velocity, acceleration, and displacement:
