And now some conceptual questions related to the general concepts covered in this course. (Don't overthink these!) 1. A ball is fired by a cannon from the top of a cliff as shown in the figure below. (a) Which of the paths would the cannon ball most closely follow? The height of the cliff is 100m and the initial speed of the cannon ball is 100m/s horizontally. (b) Imagine that at the same moment when the cannon ball leaves the cannon, another ball drops straight down from the cliff. Which of the balls will reach the ground first? Explain the reasoning behind your answer and carefully state the assumptions you made in reaching your answers.
