You are attempting to find the range of a cannon by shooting a cannonball at different angles. The cannon fires the ball with a velocity of 105 and you are firing across a level field. You try angles of 30°, 45°, and 60°.
A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, h, = 6.70 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.90 m high, to form a 1.2-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of 0 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. 18.0 V m/s (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. 0.32 Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. m (c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands. 2.14 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m
A projectile is projected from the origin with a velocity of 35m/s at an angle of 33 degrees above the horizontal. What is the range of the projectile? (Answer in Meter)
Fort Gaines guards the western entrance to Mobile Bay. In order to prevent enemy ships from passing, it needs to be able to cover about 1 km of the bay with cannon fire. The cannons fire projectiles horizontally at a speed of 460 m/s. How high must the cannons be located above the ground in order for their projectiles to travel 1 km horizontally?
A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, h = 5.90 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.20 m high, to form a 1.3-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of 0 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. m/s (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. m (c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands. m
The citizens of Paris were terrified during World War I when they were suddenly bombarded with shells fired from a long-range gun known as Big Bertha. The barrel of the gun was 36.6 m long, and it had a muzzle speed of 2.20 km/s. When the gun’s angle of elevation was set to 55.0°, what would be the range? For the purposes of solving this problem, ignore air resistance. (The actual range at this elevation was 121 km; air resistance cannot be ignored for the high muzzle speed of the shells.) km
A medieval city has the shape of a square and is protected by walls with length 500 m and height 15 m. You are the commander of an attacking army and the closest you can get to the wall is 100 m. Your plan is to set fire to the city by catapulting heated rocks over the wall (with an initial speed of 80 m/s ). At what range of angles should you tell your men to set the catapult? (Assume the path of the rocks is perpendicular to the wall.)
A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, h, - 6.30 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h= 7.50 m high, to form a 1.2-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of e = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. m/s (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. (c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands.
A Water Balloon Battle. You are launching water balloons at a rival team using a large slingshot. The other team is set up on the opposite side of a flat-topped building that is 30.0 ft tall and 50.0 ft wide. Your reconnaissance team has reported that the opposition is set up 10.0 m from the wall of the building. Your balloon launcher is calibrated for launch speeds that can reach as high as 100 mph at angles between 0 and 85.0° from the horizontal. Since a direct shot is not possible (the opposing team is on the opposite side of the building), you plan to splash the other team by making a balloon explode on the ground near them. If your launcher is located 55.0 m from the building (opposite side as the opposing team), what should your launch velocity be ((a) magnitude and (b) direction) to land a balloon 5.0 meters beyond the opposing team with maximum impact (i.e. maximum vertical speed)? (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units

A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of ? = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall.

A medieval city has the shape of a square and is protected by walls with length 500 m and height 15 m. You are the commander of an attacking army and the closest you can get to the wall is 100 m. Your plan is to set fire to the city by catapulting heated rocks over the wall (with an initial speed of 80 m/s). At what range of angles should you tell your men to set the catapult? (Assume the path of the rocks is perpendicular to the wall. Round your answers to one decimal place. Use g = 9.8 m/s2. Enter your answer using interval notation. Enter your answer in terms of degrees without using a degree symbol.)
A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 27.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 50.0 ∘ above the horizontal. The firefighters want to direct the water at a blaze that is 12.0 m above ground level. How far from the building should they position their cannon? There are two possibilities (d1<d2); can you get them both? (Hint: Start with a sketch showing the trajectory of the water.) Part A: d1=_____m Part B: d2=______m
