Two projectiles with 50kg mass each are launched in opposite directions towards each other, both at an angle of 30 degrees off the horizontal. They both have the same initial velocity of 75m/s and they are separated by a distance of 200m.
a.) What is their combined initial kinetic energy?
b.) Right before they collide, how high off the ground are they?
c.) What is their total momentum here? (both directions)
d.) When they collide they stick together and lost kinetic energy. What is it now?
e.) How high does this combined projectile get?
f.) When the thing finally lands, what's the impact velocity?
