- . A 3.0kg cannon ball is shot from a cannon at a speed of 20m/s. The cannon is oriented50 degrees above the horizontal and the cannon’s barrel is 8.0m above the ground. Youwant to position a mat that will catch the cannon ball.a. Determine how much time the cannon ball will spend in flight.b. Draw a force diagram for three points during the cannon ball’s flight (1) while itis being shot from the cannon, (2) when it is at its maximum height, and (3) whenit is half-way between the maximum height and the mat.c. Determine the horizontal distance from the end of the barrel where you shouldplace the mat so that it will catch the ball.d. How fast is the cannon ball moving just before it hits the mat?arrow_forwardRecall that the Range equation gives the horizontal distance a projectile can be launched. Suppose there is a slight breeze so that the range equation is modified in the following way: R(0) : = sin(20) – 0.900 R Part A Use Calculus to determine the angle (in degrees) at which the projectile will reach its maximum range. ?

- H6. A skier/snowboarder starts at rest at the top of a snowy (friction-free) hill with height h1. After the bottom of this hill there is a small “jump” hill. The top of the jump has height h2 and a curvature of radius R. What is the minimum height of the starting hill, h1min, so that the skier/snowboarder jumps or “catches air” at the top of hill 2? Solve for h1min in terms of h2, R, and g. Hint: if the skier/snowboarder jumps, he/she/they loose contact with the snowy ground.arrow_forwardAssuming negligible atmospheric friction, a launched projectile has a parabolic path, as shown above. Point Q is the path peak and Points P and R are at the same altitude. Identify the correct relationship of the projectile speeds at the three points. O A. vp = VR < VQ O B.
