Question
A cannon is fired from Fort George towards Fort Niagara during the War of 1812. Fort George is on a 100 meters cliff above level ground. The launch speed of the canon is 100m/s at an angle of 20 degrees. Assuming no air resistance. Determine:
1. how long the cannon ball will be in the air?
2. the peak height of the canon ball.
3. if the ball will clear the Fort Niagara wall of 10 m (the wall is 850 m away from the base of the cliff)
4. the range with no wall to possibly impede the canon ball

- A ball is thrown upward from the top of a tall building so that it lands on the ground at the base of the building. The ball reaches a maximum height of 105 m above the ground. The ball is in the air for a total of 5.32 s. Air resistance can be neglected. Use up as the +y-direction and down as the -y-direction. What is the initial velocity of the ball? What is the height of the building? What is the velocity of the ball, just before it hits the ground?arrow_forwardPart A = The integral with respect to time of a force applied to an object is a measure called impulse, and the impulse applied to an object during a time interval determines its change in momentum during the time interval. The safety of a t-shirt launcher, used to help get crowds cheering at baseball games, is being evaluated. As a first step in the evaluation, engineers consider the design momentum of the launched t-shirts. The springs in the launcher are designed to apply a variable force to a t-shirt over a time interval of t 0.5 s. The force as a function of time is given by F(t) = at² + b, where a = −28 N/s² and b = 7.0 N. The momentum of the t-shirt will be its initial momentum (po = 0) plus its change in momentum due to the applied impulse: pf = po+ St-F(t) dt. By applying the given time dependent function for F(t) and performing the integration, which of the following is the correct expression for pf? ▸ View Available Hint(s) rt=tL 0+(1/3+ ³ + b) 10/20 tL Pf= ○ tL 0+ (13) 기함 a…arrow_forwardA car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 18.0 below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and unfortunately the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline for a distance of 30.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 45.0 m above the ocean. Ignore air and road resistance forces.A. .

- A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 22m high.the ball strikes the ground at a point 35 m horizontally away from and below the point of release.Air resistant is neglected from this problem.e.what is the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground?arrow_forwardAn attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.60 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 7.50 m/s from a height of 1.60 m above the ground. a) what is its speed at the top? If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top? b) Find the change in speed of a rock thrown straight down from the top of the wall at an initial speed of 7.50 m/s and moving between the same two points. c) Does the change in speed of the downward-moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upward between the same elevations? d) Explain physically why it does or does not agree.arrow_forwardA minigolf ball is on a perfectly horizontal surface, x = 2 m away from the center of the hole. There is a small obstacle in the way, so the ball cannot simply roll to the hole –it must go up in the air. The player is able to shoot with an initial speed v0 = 7 m/s. The ball can be launched at TWO possible angles with the horizontal for the ball to get in the hole. We want your to find these two angles.arrow_forward
