- A cannonball is launched from the top of a flat mountainside, which slopes upwards at35 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The cannonball exits the cannon moving at150 m/s, at an angle of 55 degrees with respect to the horizontal.a) How much time (in seconds) elapses between the moment the cannonball isfired and the moment it lands on the mountainside.b) How far down the mountainside (in meters) does the cannonball land?arrow_forwardA football is kicked at 25.0 m/s at an angle of 29.0° above the horizontal. Assume it starts 1.00 m above ground level. (Neglect any effects due to air resistance.)
