A shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 11.8 m/s, 52.8° above the horizontal. The shot hits the ground 2.10 s later. You can ignore air resistance. (Assume the horizontal direction of the shot and upward are positive.)

(a) What are the components of the shot's acceleration while in flight?
m/s2 (horizontal component)
m/s2 (vertical component)

(b) What are the components of the shot's velocity at the beginning of its trajectory?
m/s (horizontal component)
m/s (vertical component)

What are the components of the shot's velocity at the end of its trajectory?
m/s (horizontal component)
m/s (vertical component)

(c) How far did she throw the shot horizontally?
m



(e) How high was the shot above the ground when she released it?
