QUESTION 2 Supply all missing information with the correct numerical values. Do not include the units. Round off all answers to two decimal places. Do not forget the negative sign (-) if needed. A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. Vo = ( m/s) i + ( m/s) Î At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = m/s?. The time needed to reach maximum height is t = S. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = m.
