A cannon is elevated at an angle of 30 degrees and fires a cannonball with a speed "v1". The Cannon is on top of a cliff with a height of "h". Given v1 and h, determine: a) The speed of the cannoball when it is at its maximum height. b) The speed of the cannonball just before hitting the ground. c) The angle the cannonball's velocity makes with the horizontal just before hitting the ground. d) The horizontal distance the...

A cannonball is launched with a velocity of 52.5 ms at an angle of 47.2◦ above the horizontal on a flat firing range. Ignoring air resistance for every part, determine (a) the maximum height reached by the cannonball, (b) the total time in the air, (c) the total horizontal distance covered, (d) and the speed and direction (angle) of the cannonball 1.50 s after firing.

A shot putter threw a shot at an angle of 43o above the horizontal from a height of 2.0 m above the ground. The shot traveled 19.0 m horizontally from the launch position. (a) What was the initial speed of the shot when it left the shot putter’s hand? (b) How long was the shot in the air? {13.0 m/s, 2.0 s}

A spherical cannonball of mass 2M is launched with an initial velocity v0 at an angle...

A spherical cannonball of mass 2M is launched with an initial velocity v0 at an angle of 45° above the horizontal. There is an explosive charge between the two halves of the cannonball which is detonated when the cannonball has reached the highest point of its trajectory. One half of the cannonball (mass M) is propelled backwards exactly along the original trajectory and lands back in the cannon (good trick!). Ignore air resistance for this problem. a) Assuming level terrain,...
