Answer

$1130\space m/s,\space 37.7^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

Let's apply equations 3.3a,b $V=u+at$ in the horizontal, and vertical directions to find the initial x and y- components of velocity. $\rightarrow V=u+at$ $3775\space m/s=V_{0x}+5.1\space m/s^{2}\times565\space s$ $V_{0x}=893.5\space m/s$ $\uparrow V=u+at$ $4816\space m/s=V_{0y}+7.3\space m/s^{2}\times565\space s$ $V_{0x}=691.5\space m/s$ By using the Pythagorean theorem, we can get Initial Velocity $V_{0}=\sqrt {(893.5\space m/s)^{2}+(691.5\space m/s)^{2}}=1130\space m/s$ By using trigonometry, we can get $tan\theta=\frac{V_{0y}}{V_{0x}}=\frac{691.5\space m/s}{893.5\space m/s}=>\theta=tan^{-1}(0.774)=37.7^{\circ}$
