Question

Transcribed Image Text:A projectile Is shot from a cannon. The fixed parameters are the acceleration of gravity, g 9.8 m/sec4, and the muzzle
velocity, vo = 500 m/sec, at which the projectile leaves the cannon. The angle 0, in degrees, between the muzzle of the
cannon and the ground can vary. The time that the projectile stays in the air is
2v0
sin
180
seconds.
180
(0) =
= 102 sin
(a) Find the time in the air for 0 = 15°
Round your answer to one decimal place.
Time in air =
i
seconds
