Set the mass of the cannonball to 10 kg and its diameter to 0.25 meters. The gravitational constant is 9.81 m/s2 and set air resistance to zero (uncheck air resistance). Fire the projectile launcher straight upwards (angle = 90°) at 20 m/s. Using kinematics, determine: The time it should take the projectile to reach the maximum height and the maximum height reched by the projectile.
