Question
A cannon fires at a fixed angle θ0=45 degrees and with a muzzle velocity of v0=135 m/s. The target is on a cliff of height h=235 m. From what distance L, should the gunner place the cannon so that the projectile hits the target on its way down?

- The initial speed of the ball is v0 = 22.2 m/s, the angle the ball is hit at is θ = 43o, and g = 8.4. How far away does the ball hit the ground?arrow_forwardA quarterback passes the football downfield at 19.0 m/s. It leaves his hand 1.70 m above the ground and is caught by a receiver 36.0 m away at the same height. What is the maximum height of the ball on its way to the receiver? so y0 = 1.7m x(t) = 36m , i guess i will need angle and t to get the answer, but i have no idea how to find themarrow_forwardA cannonball is fired with initial speed v0 at an angle 30° above the horizontal from a height of 38.0 m above the ground. The projectile strikes the ground with a speed of 1.1v0. Find v0. (Ignore any effects due to air resistance.)arrow_forward

The rocket is fired toward an 11.0 m high wall, which is located 21.0 m away. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall?arrow_forwardA father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 7.47 m/s at an angle of 83.0° above the table. With what speed (in m/s) does the pea strike the ceiling 1.90 m above the table?arrow_forward
- A projectile is launched from point A with speed vo = 37 m/s. Determine the value of the launch angle a which maximizes the range R indicated in the figure. Determine the corresponding value R.

At what angle (in degrees) must the arrow be released to hit the bull's-eye if its initial speed is 30.41 m/s?arrow_forwardA guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.arrow_forward
- A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 24.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° elevation. What are the components of the velocity of the projectile after 2.00 s?arrow_forwardThe 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 projectile is shot in the air from ground level with an initial velocity of 490 m/sec at an angle of 60° with the horizontal.
