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?

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...
