A ball is projected at an angle b from the horizontal. With initial velocity V the ball leaves the ground at point O and hits the ground at point A. If Vcos(b) = 6u and Vsin(b) = 2.5u, how long does the ball take to travel between O and A.

This is a classic 2-D projectile question.

The best way to solve this problem is to split the velocity into its x and y components.

In the x-direction a projectile has no forces acting on it...
