Consider a projectile on Earth, where +z is vertically upward. A cannon that is 1.50 m tall sits on the edge of a 50.0 m tall cliff oriented to fire in the +x direction. The cannon fires a 6.50 kg cannonball with an initial velocity of 110 m/s at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance. a) Write the acceleration of the cannon ball as a function of time as a column vector. b. write the canon ball's velocity as a function of time as a column vector c. write the canon ball's position as a function of time as a column vector d. how long does it take the canon ball to reach the highest point in it's trajectory e. what is the peak height the cannon ball attains
