Question
1) A cannon is at a castle on a cliff and at a hight of 200 m above the sea level. The
cannon barrel points at an angle of +30.0◦
from the horizontal (pointing slightly upwards)
and can give a maximum speed to the cannon ball of 70.0 m/s. Ignoring air resistance
how close in the horizontal displacement should a ship be in order for the cannon to be
able to hit the ship. (hints: identify the motion, write the equations and calculate first
the total time the ball is in the air). A ship has some size so we do not need an accuracy
better than 10 m.
a. about 6.6 ×102 m
b. about 5.3 ×102 m
c. about 4.3 ×102 m
d. about 2.2 ×102 m
