A cannon ball is fired with an initial velocity vo at a wall that is 100. meters tall and located 450. meters away. The initial angle of launch of the cannon ball is 0. We want to determine if the cannon ball will clear the wall. If not how high-up will the ball strike the wall from the ground. (A) Sketch a graph showing position of the cannonball during its flight (y versus x) showing and labeling the initial velocity vector. Identify and write knowns and unknowns (B) Without using numerical values, determine which physics equations of motion will help solve this problem. Simplify as useful for this particular case. (C) If the initial horizontal component of the balls velocity is 90.0 m/s and its initial angle is 0-24 degrees, does the cannonball clear the wall? If not, how high above the ground is the ball when it hits the wall?

Problem For a projectile lunched with an initial velocity of vo at an angle of e (between O and 90), a) derive the general expression for maximum height hmax and the horizontal range R. b) For what value of e gives the highest maximum height? Solution The components of vo are expressed as follows: Vinitial-x= vocos(e) Vinitial-y = vosin(e) a) Let us first find the time it takes for the projectile to reach the maximum height. Using Vfinal-y = Vinitial-y * ayt since the y-axis velocity of the projectile at the maximum height is Vfinal-y= Then, = Vinitial-y +ayt Substituting the expression of vinitial-y and ay = -g results to the following Thus, the time to reach the maximum height is Imax-height We will use this time to the equation yfinal - Yinitial = Vinitialyt+ (1/2)a,2 if we use the time taken to reach the maximum height, therefore, the displacement will yield the maximum height, so hmax = Vinitial-y + (1/2lay? substituting the Vinitial-y expression above, results to the following…
Cannon problem: There is a new cannon entering service. The artillery crews need some information about the cannon's behavior so they can make adjustments to the firing angle as needed. When the engineers tell the artillery crew the range to the target, the crew must be able to calculate and set the proper firing angle for the cannon quickly. a) In order to calculate the proper firing angle what do they need to know about the cannonball leaving the cannon? (Ignore the height of the cannon above the ground. For now we will assume it makes little difference) b) Given your answer for part a, we need to identify the point in the cannonball's flight when it has its "initial velocity". The cannonball is clearly moving inside the barrel of the cannon, but at which point in the cannonball's path do we mark the initial velocity? The cannonball is packed onto a mass of gunpowder in the base of the cannon. When the powder is ignited, the chemical reaction produces gas and a large amount of heat…

Top Golf is a famous and well-known place for sports entertainment and family fun. Typically a building has two to three floors full of rooms for people to rent and relax in while they hit golf balls onto a 250-yard field. Suppose a person hits a golf ball from the second floor (h) with an initial velocity of 118 mph at a 15° angle (0). The golf ball is in the air for (t) secs and lands 170 (x) yards from its initial place. The path of the golf ball is depicted in figure 2. Hint: 1 mile 5280 ft, 1 yard = 3 ft = (i) How long does it take for the golf ball to land on the field in seconds? (t) (ii) At what height was the ball struck at in feet? (h) (iii) What is the maximum height the golf ball reaches in feet? (yax) Figure 2. V₂
