Please answer these questions showing the formula used!! thanks~

Question A rocket is launched from the top of a tower that is a height of 30 metres above ground level.
The initial speed at launch is 20m/s at an angle of 30degrees above the horizontal ground level

Calculate 1. The time of flight to the ground
2. the speed of impact when it hits the ground

cheers~

Assume g = 10m/s^2
(1)
By s = ut + (1/2)at^2,
-30 = (20sin30)t + (1/2)(-10)t^2
-30 = 10t - 5t^2
t^2 - 2t -6 = 0
(t - 1)^2 = 7
t = 1 + sqroot(7) = 1.837s
Therefore, time of flight = 1.837s
(2)
At time t = 1.837s,
vertical velocity is given by
v = u + at
v = 20sin30 - (10)(1.837)
v = 10 - 18.37
v = -8.37m/s
horizontal velocity remains unchanged at 20cos30 = 17.32 m/s
Therefore, speed of impact
= sqroot[(-8.37)^2 + 17.32^2]
= sqroot(70+300)
= 19.235m/s
