Answer 1

Answer:

d = 421.83 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height, h = 396.9 m

Horizontal speed, v = 46.87 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the ball horizontally. Let t is the time taken by the ball. Using second equation of motion for vertical direction. So,

$396.9=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2\\\\t=9\ s$

Now d is the distance covered by the cannonball. So,

$d=vt\\\\d=46.87\times 9\\\\d=421.83\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
