Use g = 9.81m/s2 for the problems below. These are modifications of problems 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 from your book.

1. The projectile of a trebuchet is fired at an angle of 65° relative to the ground. It is fired with a velocity of 100m/s. Find the x-component of the acceleration (ax). Give your answer using three significant figures and include units with no spaces (e.g. 1.23m/s2).
2. The projectile of a trebuchet is fired at an angle of 65° relative to the ground. It is fired with a velocity of 100m/s. Find the y-component of the acceleration (ay). (e.g. 1.23m/s2)
3. How long was the projectile from the previous problem in the air? (e.g. 1.23s)
4. How high did the projectile in the previous problem go? (e.g. 1.23m)
5. How far did the projectile in the previous problem go? (e.g. 1.23m)
6. A projectile is fired at an angle of 25° with respect to the ground. What initial speed must a projectile have in order to have a range of 20 meters? (e.g. 1.23m/s)
