Projectile. A cannonball is catapulted toward a castle. The cannonball’s velocity when it leaves the catapult is 40 m/s at an angle of 370 with respect with the horizontal and the cannonball is 7.0 m above the ground at that time.
(a) What is the maximum height above the ground reached by the cannonball?
(b) Assuming the cannonball makes it over the castle walls and lands back down on the ground, at what horizontal distance from its release point will it land?
(c) What are the x and y components of cannonball’s velocity just before it lands? The y-axis points up.
Jonah is reading a novel that describes an athlete participating in an archery competition. The athlete is 186 cm tall and hits an amazing shot where they fire the arrow completely horizontally and it lands 51 m away from them.
1) neglecting air resistance and drag, what must the initial speed of the arrow be?
2) if the arrow was instead fired at an angle of 45°, how far would it have travelled if it was launched at 187m/s?

- Susan is an airline pilot flying from one city to another city 1357 km away due east. Her airplane is capable of flying 590 km/h in still air. In the absence of wind, she would simply aim her airplane due east and arrive at her destination 2.30 h later (a very simple Chapter 2 question). Unfortunately for her (and for you), there is a cross-wind (due north or due south -- you need to figure out which direction) which remains constant througout her trip. To account for the wind, she aims the airplane in the direction 27.0° south of east. City #1 City #2 Draw a vector diagram showing how the velocities of the plane relative to the air (õpA), а. plane relative to the ground (õpg), and air relative to the ground (VAG) are related to one another. The following should be obvious from your diagram: (1) the direction of each velocity vector, and (2) which two velocities add up to the third. b. Calculate the wind speed. C.
