The vertical movement of the projectile is described by:
y = H - gt² / 2
When the cannonball is on the ground, y= 0 so:
0 = H - gt² /2
Solving for t:
The horizontally movement of the projectile is described by:
x = v₀t
Solving for v₀:
v₀ = x/t
v₀ = 175 m / 2.8 s
v₀ = 61.5 m/s
Answer:
3.0 cm
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the mirror equation:
where
f is the focal length of the mirror
p is the distance of the object from the mirror
q is the distance of the image from the mirror
In this problem we have:
f = 1.5 cm is the focal length of the mirror (positive for a concave mirror)
p = 3.0 cm is the distance of the object from the mirror
Therefore, the distance of the image is:
And the positive sign means that the image is real.
(The second part of the exercise is just the description of the image of the first exercise).
