Answer:
Explanation:
The cannonball goes a horizontal distance of 275 m . It travels a vertical distance of 100 m
Time taken to cover vertical distance = t ,
Initial velocity u = 0
distance s = 100 m
acceleration a = 9.8 m /s²
s = ut + 1/2 g t²
100 = .5 x 9.8 x t²
t = 4.51 s
During this time it travels horizontally also uniformly so
horizontal velocity Vx = horizontal displacement / time
= 275 / 4.51 = 60.97 m /s
Vertical velocity Vy
Vy = u + gt
= 0 + 9.8 x 4.51
= 44.2 m /s
Resultant velocity
V = √ ( 44.2² + 60.97² )
= √ ( 1953.64 + 3717.34 )
= 75.3 m /s
Angle with horizontal Ф
TanФ = Vy / Vx
= 44.2 / 60.97
= .725
Ф = 36⁰ .
