Question
Daniel successfully shoots the ball through the hoop. The ball was shot from 1.82 m above the ground and the hoop is 3.048 m above the ground. The basketball was shot at an angle of 65.0 °and the ball was in the air for 0.850 s. a. Calculate the initial speed of the ball as the player took the shot. b. Calculate the displacement of the hoop as measured from the initial position of the ball.

The artillery crews need some information about the cannon's behavior so they can make adjustments to the firing angle as needed. When the engineers tell the artillery crew the range to the target, the crew must be able to calculate and set the proper firing angle for the cannon quickly. a) In order to calculate the proper firing angle what do they need to know about the cannonball leaving the cannon? (Ignore the height of the cannon above the ground. For now we will assume it makes little difference) b) Given your answer for part a, we need to identify the point in the cannonball's flight when it has its "initial velocity". The cannonball is clearly moving inside the barrel of the cannon, but at which point in the cannonball's path do we mark the initial velocity? The cannonball is packed onto a mass of gunpowder in the base of the cannon. When the powder is ignited, the chemical reaction produces gas and a large amount of heat…arrow_forward
