Question
A cannon fires projectiles at an angle. How do the magnitudes of the velocities
compare? (you may assume that the projectile lands at the same level from
which it was fired)
Vo = firing (initial) velocity
Vtop velocity at maximum height
Vf = velocity just before it hits the ground (final velocity)
Select one:
a. Vo = Vtop > Vf = 0
b. Vo = Vf > Vtop > 0
C. Vo> Vtop > Vf = 0
d. Vo> Vtop > Vf > 0
e. Vo Vtop=Vf > 0
