The mechanical energy for the first and the second ball is
Mass of the first ball = 20 kg
The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s
The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 37°
The maximum height reached by the first ball is,
The maximum height of the first cannonball is 17478.69 m.
The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s
The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 90 °
For the first ball, total mechanical energy= Potential energy at maximum height + kinetic energy at the maximum height
So, the total mechanical energy is,
= mgh \: + \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} _{x}[/tex]
Therefore, the total mechanical energy for the first and the
