2) s (t) = 155tcos (23°)

=> s (1.4) = 155 * 1.4 * cos (23°)

=> s (1.4) ≈ 199.7 ft (1 dp) < = - distance displaced horizontally

a (t) = - 32 ft/s^2

=> v (t) = - 32t + 155sin (23°)

=> h (t) = - 16t^2 + 155tsin (23°)

=> h (1.4) = - 16 (1.4) ^2 + 155 (1.4) sin (23°)

=> h (1.4) ≈ 53.4 ft (1 dp) < = = distance displaced vertically.
