A cannonball with an initial height of 1.00 meter above the ground is fired from a cannon at an angle of 53° above the horizontal. The cannonball travels a horizontal distance of 90 meters to a 70 meter high castle wall, and passes over 6 meters above the highest point of the wall. (Assume air friction is negligible.)

6m
A cannonball with an initial height of 1.00 meter
above the ground is fired from a cannon at an angle
Vo
of 53° above the horizontal. The cannonball
70 m
travels a horizontal distance of 90 meters to a 70
meter high castle wall, and passes over 6 meters
above the highest point of the wall. (Assume air
friction is negligible.)
90 m
(Take g=10m/s², sin53°=cos37°=0,8, sin37°=cos53°=0,6).
Determine how much time it takes for the ball to reach the wall.
