The circus is putting on a new act which involves launching someone out of a cannon, “the human cannonball," however, the cannon is mounted atop a moving train. The human cannonball will be launched in front of the train from atop the train. Just before landing in harms way, a trapeze artist will swoop the cannonball up before they are hit by the train. The ring mistress of the circus learns that you studied physics and decides she wants you to do some calculations for the safety of the human cannonball. You can't seem to escape your physics class even in the circus. Suppose the human cannonball is launched with speed vo and launch angle 0. At the moment they launch, the train which had been moving with speed Vtrain, begins to accelerate with acceleration a.
