Answer: The net displacement is 6.40meters
Explanation:
Unless you are a mutant....I don't think you would make it. I'm 5'8" and most people are 6'7" or less. It's bsically impossible to do. :)
Using Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma ; [ F = force (N: kgm/s^2);m= mass (kg); a = acceleration (m/s^2)
Given: Find: Formula: Solve for m:
F: 2500N mass:? F=ma Eq.1 m=F/a Eq. 2
a= 200m/s^2
Solution:
Using Eq.2
m= (2500 kgm/s^2)/ (200m/s^2) = 12.5 kg
The answer to your question is,
A scientific law.

Before you start working on any motion problem, YOU decide which direction you're going to call 'positive'. Everybody almost always calls UP positive, and the acceleration of gravity points down, so it winds up negative. But you could just as well call DOWN the positive direction. Then, the cannonball is fired with a negative vertical speed, and the acceleration of gravity eventually robs all of its negative speed, and makes it start falling in the positive direction. The whole thing is your choice.
