Question
Suppose a projectile is fired from a cannon with velocity vo and angle of elevation 0. The horizontal distance R (0) it travels (in feet) is given by the following.
2
(vo)² sin 20
R (0) =
32
If y=80 ft/s, what angle 0 (in radians) should be used to hit a target on the ground 112 feet in front of the cannon?
Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth of a radian. (If there is more than one answer, enter
