Math Problem Statement
A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 7.31 m/s at an angle of 69.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 1.90 m above the table?
HINT
Use the kinematic equations to find the x- and y-components of the pea's velocity when it hits the ceiling. Then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed.

Formulas
v_x = v_0 * cos(θ)
v_y = v_0 * sin(θ)
v_y^2 = v_{0y}^2 - 2g * (y_f - y_0)
v = √(v_x^2 + v_y^2)
