Consider a potato which is launched out of a potato gun with an initial velocity of 32 m/s at an angle of 65° above the horizontal. (a) Using the whole vector approach, construct appropriate displacement/velocity triangles to determine the maximum height that the potato reaches. (b) Now, use an energy approach to solve for the same thing the maximum height of the potato. (c) In general, when might an energy approach be the more useful method, and when might a whole vector approach be more useful?
