A circus clown is to be fired from a cannon at an angle of 60 degress to the horizontal with an initial
speed of 60 ft/sec. The clown is supposed to hit a cushion located 100 ft away. The circus is
held in a building with 50 ft ceilings.
- Can the performer be fired to the cushion without hitting the ceiling?
- Will the clown land on the cushion? If not, will he land short or long of the mark?
- What angle should be used to have the clown land directly on the cushion?

A circus act involves launching a human being from a cannon
resting on the floor. The human has a 50 kg mass and is launched at
a speed of 12 m/s, in a direction 30° up from the horizontal. The
cannon has a mass of 110 kg. (a) Considering the system as cannon +
human, state why the x-component of the momentum is conserved. (b)
Find the recoil speed of the cannon. (c) It would be dangerous to
use explosives,...

6. A cannon ball is fired from a giant cannon whose length is
1.00 x 102 m. The cannon ball leaves the barrel at a
speed of 99.5 m/s:
a. What is the acceleration of the cannon ball while in the
cannon? Show all work.
The cannon ball (above) leaves the barrel at ground level at an
angle of 60.0o from the ground and travels with minimal
air resistance until impacting on the ground some distance
away.
b. Calculate the...

A cannonball is fired horizontally from the top of a cliff. The
cannon is at height H = 100m above ground level, and the ball is
fired with initial horizontal speed v0=0. Assume
acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.80 m/s2.
a)Assume that the cannon is fired at time t=0 and that the
cannonball hits the ground at time tg. What is the
y position of the cannonball at the time
tg/2?
b) Given that the projectile lands...
A grappling hook is fired from a cannon at ground level with an initial speed of...
A grappling hook is fired from a cannon at ground level with an
initial speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 50 degree above the ground.
It is a fired at a vertical cliff. The cliff is very high and we
are very close. So we are sure that the hook will hit the face of
the cliff.
Determine the x component of the initial velocity, and how that
the y-component of the initial velocity is 30.6 m/s up....

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 150 m/s and angle
of elevation 60°. The projectile is fired from a position 80 m
above the ground. (Recall g ≈ 9.8 m/s2. Round
your answers to the nearest whole number.)
(a) Find the range of the projectile
(b) Find the maximum height reached.
(c) Find the speed at impact.

A cannon fires a cannon ball at an angle of θ0 = 30.0°
above the horizontal axis. The initial speed of the ball is 395 m/s
. Ignore air resistance for all calculations.
A) Find the maximum height
h that the ball attains.
B) Find the horizontal distance
(range) R the cannon ball would travel given the above
(the same as for Part A) conditions.
