During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs. The figure shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan. (a) At what initial speed would a bomb have to be ejected, at angle 80 = 32° to the horizontal, from the vent at A in order to fall at the foot of the volcano at B, at vertical distance h = 3.40 km and horizontal distance 1 = 10.0 km? Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb's travel. (b) What would be the time of flight? (a) Number 330.15 Units m/s (b) Number 49 Units
