a. What was the angle of the hill?
b.
A cannon is aimed across Bottomless Gorge at an angle of 22.6° above the horizontal.
The mouth of the cannon is 1.00 m above the ground. It shoots a ball whose velocity
upon leaving the canon is 130 m/s.
a
What are the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of the
ball?
b. What is the velocity of the ball after 2.00 s? (don't forget angle to horizontal)
C.

cannon, how wide is Bottomless Gorge? (1320 m)
You throw a ball toward a wall at speed 25.0 m/s and at angle 00 = 40.3° above the
