Question
A cannon sits upon a cliff on VENUS. It fires a small mallard at some unknown angle.
ASSUME: The cannon has a muzzle velocity of 37 m/s
The cannon has a range of 96 meters
The cliff is 8 meters above the ground
The mallard takes 8 seconds to travel to the ground
The acceleration due to gravity on VENUS is constant but is unknown.

- Collin stands on a 60.0 m high cliff shooting a cannon. He is using a launch angle of 42.0 degree and his cannon launches the cannon balls at 25.0 m/s. what is the flight time of it at height of 25 m above the ground?arrow_forwardA rock is thrown off of the edge of a 120-meter tall cliff with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance a) How much time elapses (in units of seconds) between the moment the rock is thrown and the moment the rock lands on the ground below? b) How far does the rock travel (in units of meters) in the horizontal direction before landing? c) How fast is the rock moving (in m/s) just before it hits the ground? d) What direction is the rock moving in just before it hits the ground (in terms of an angle below the horizontal)?arrow_forwardYou launch a projectile. It takes 3.9 seconds to reach its maximum height. What was the vertical component of the projectile's initial velocity? Neglect air resistance. 19 m/s 31 m/s 38 m/s 57 m/sarrow_forward

At what time will the rocket be 13 m from the ground?arrow_forwardYou toss an apple horizontally at 8.4 m/sm/s from a height of 2.0 mm. Simultaneously, you drop a peach from the same height. How long does apple take to reach the ground? How long does peach take to reach the ground?arrow_forward1. A ball is thrown into the air with an initial x velocity of 15 m/s and an initial y velocity 10 m/s from an initial height of 20 m. a) What is the maximum height of the ball?

- 1b. A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 18.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 20.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. What are the components of the initial velocity? v0x = ____m/s v0y = ____m/sarrow_forwardYou have two stones in your hands, and you are standing on a bridge. You throw the first stone with a velocity of 8.00 m/s upward. One second later, you let drop the second stone. Both stones hit the water below the bridge at the same time. a)For how much time is the first stone in free fall? b)What is the distance from your hand to the water? c) What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the first stone when it hits the water?arrow_forwardIn a ballistic pendulum lab we used the law of projectile to determine the initial velocity. The ball was released with some initial speed V from the table, the table has an altitude of 1.1 m and the ball land 2.3 m away. What is the muzzle velocity of the ball as it shot from the gun? 4.9 m/s O 7.0 m/s O 6.1 m/s O 8.0 m/sarrow_forward
- 24. A shell is fired with a horizontal velocity in the positive x direction at a speed of 330 m/s from the top of an 80- m high cliff. The shell strikes the ground 1330 m from the base of the cliff. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the shell as it hits the ground? Hint: you need to determine horizontal and vertical components of the final velocity first, from the kinematic equations, then calculate magnitude of the velocity. While the horizontal velocity remains constant, the vertical velocity does not. You will need time of flight to determine the latter. 80 m 1330 m A) 4.0 m/s B) 9.8 m/s B) 9.8 m/s C) 82 m/s D) 170 m/s (E) 332 m/sarrow_forwardTwo people each kick identical balls at the same angle. Person A kicks it at three times the speed of person B. How many times higher does A's ball go than B's? 0 3 O 0.33 O 4arrow_forwardTwo projectiles are launched from the same point at the same angle, but the first one has twice the initial velocity compared to the second. The ranges R1 and R2 are: O A. R2 = 4R1 O B. R1 = 4R2 OC R2= 2R1 OD R1 = R2 O E None of the above.arrow_forward
