• During a medieval siege of a castle, the attacking army uses a trebuchet to hurl heavy stones at the castle walls. If the trebuchet launches the stones with a velocity of +40.0 m/s at an angle of 35.0° find the following:
  ⦁ What are the velocities in the X and Y directions?  Show all work.
•  ⦁ How long will each stone be in the air? Show all work.
  ⦁ What is the range (horizontal distance) that the stone will travel? Show all work
  ⦁ What is the maximum height of the launched stones? Show all work.
• ⦁ What is the velocity of each stone as it hits the ground?
