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 range of the projectile is

- The citizens of Paris were terrified during World War I when they were suddenly bombarded with shells fired from a long-range gun known as Big Bertha. The barrel of the gun was 36.6 m long, and it had a muzzle speed of 2.20 km/s. When the gun’s angle of elevation was set to 55.0°, what would be the range? For the purposes of solving this problem, ignore air resistance. (The actual range at this elevation was 121 km; air resistance cannot be ignored for the high muzzle speed of the shells.) kmarrow_forwardA pilot flies with a plane 20 km northward with an angle of 60 east ➚ , then 30 km to the east ⮕ , then 10 to the north ⬆ , what is its distance from the start and what is its directionarrow_forwardv sin 20 gives the distance x travelled (in feet) by a projectile launched from 32 The formula r% = the ground, with initial velocity v (in feet/sec) and initial angle 0 (in radians or degrees). a.
