(a) Determine how much time it takes for the ball to reach the wall. (b) Determine the initial speed of the cannonball as it is fixed. (c) Determine the velocity of the cannonball as it passes over the castle wall. (d) If the same cannonball is fixed with the same initial speed at an angle of 55.5 degrees above the horizontal, determine whether or not the ball will still clear the castle wall.
A cannonball with an initial height of 1.00 m above the ground is fixed from a cannon at an angle of 50 degrees above the horizontal. The cannonball travels a horizontal distance of 60.0 meters to a 10.0-meter high castle wall and passes over 2.00 meters above the highest point of the wall. Assume that air friction is negligible. (a) Determine how much time it takes for the ball to reach the wall. (b) Determine the initial speed of the cannonball as it is fixed. (c) Determine the velocity of the cannonball as it passes over the castle wall. (d) If the same cannonball is fixed with the same initial speed at an angle of 55.5 degrees above the horizontal, determine whether or not the ball will still clear the castle wall.
