A cannon fires a cannonball with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 60.5° above the horizontal. The cannonball impacts a raised plateau 43.0 s after firing. Let the +x-direction be directly ahead of the cannon and the +y-direction be upward. Find the x- and y-coordinates of the cannonball's impact point, relative to its firing point (in m).
A cannon is fired to a hill. The beginning of the hill is 200 meters away from the cannon and it is tilted by 25 degree from horizontal. The bullet's initial speed is 60.0 m/s where does the bullet hits at the hill?
