Answer: 5.5km

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure will be 500 mb (that is half of the total 1000mb air pressure).

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is because at At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules above a the known or given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Pressure decreasing with higher altitudes also means that  air pressure decreases rapidly at lowerevels but more slowly at higher levels.

It is also known that more than half of the atmospheric molecules are located below 5.5 km(that is atmospheric pressure decreases within the lowest 5.5 km to about fifty(50) percent( that is 500 millibar).

A cannon fires a cannonball 500.0 m downrange when set at a 45.0o angle. At what velocity does the cannonball leave the cannon?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Range on the cannon ball is given as

d = 500.0 m

here the angle of the projection of the ball is given as 45 degree

now we know that if the velocity of the ball is "v" then its two components will be given as

v_x = vcos45

v_y = vsin45

so here time of flight of the motion is given as

T = \frac{2v_y}{g}

T = \frac{2vsin45}{g}

also the range is given as

R = v_x T

R = (vcos45)(\frac{2vsin45}{g})

now plug in all data in this equation

500.0 = \frac{v^2(2sin45cos45)}{g}

v = 70 m/s
