    To answer this problem we will make use of two of the equations of motion. Then we will come across out each velocity component. The difficult part comes in solving for the j component of velocity for which we will have to know t_f, the time it takes to be displaced (11m):

    Our equations

    1. v_f^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax

    2. v_f = v_0 + at

    Solving for the time it takes to travel 11m

    We do so by finding the final velocity using (1), and then plugging that back into (2).

    v_fi^2 = 4^2 + 2*5*11

    v_fi^2 = 16 + 110 = 126

    v_fi = 11.22 m/s ((()))

    plugging this into (2)

    11.22 = 4 + 5*t_f

    5*t _f = 7.22

    t_f = 7.22 / 5

    t_f = 1.444 seconds

    Solving for the vertical velocity

    v_fj = v_0j + at

    v_fj = 0 + 7*1.444

    v_fj = 10.108 m/s ((()))

    Finding magnitude and angle

    V = sqrt (v_fi^2 + v_fj^2)

    125.884 + 10.108

    V = 15.10151 m/s

    Angle:

    Theta = arctan (v_fj/v_fi)

    Theta = 0.0801 radians

    converting radians to degrees (180/pi)

    Theta =.0.0801 (180/pi) deg = 4.591 deg

    Answer:

    V = 15.10151 m/s

    Theta = 4.591 deg
