Question
In one battle, a cannon is fired at an elevation angle of 53° with an initial velocity of 60 m/s. If the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s², then the position after 1 second of cannon firing is
a) x = 36 m, y = 64 m
b) x = 64 m, y = 43 m
c) x = 36 m, y = 43 m
d) x = 32 m, y = 32 m
e) x = 43 m, y = 36 m

- Problem 2: An object is thrown off the top of a 38-m tall building with a velocity of 350 m/s at an angle of 8.2° with respect to the horizontal. Part (a) How long is the object in the air in seconds? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. t = Part (b) What is the maximum height the object reaches above the ground in meters? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. hmax = Part (c) What is the horizontal distance the object covers in meters? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. Ax =.arrow_forwardA person on a cliff throws a ball with an initial velocity of 28.4 m/s at an angle of 53.9° above the horizontal. If the initial height of the ball, compared to it impact location is, Y = 15.1 m, what is the maximum height it obtains, and where does it land?

Which of the following statements is true about the ball at the peak of it's trajectory? Question 3 options: The magnitude of the ball's displacement relative to the ground is zero The magnitude of the ball's velocity relative to the ground is zero The magnitude of the ball's acceleration relative to the ground is zero All of the above None of the abovearrow_forward
