assume that the initial speed is 25 m/s and the angle of projection is 53 degree above the hroizontal. the cannon ball leaves the uzzel of the cannon at a highet of 200 m.( the cannon is at the edge of the cliff) A: find the horizontal distance the cannon travles. B: when does the cannon ball reach the ground? C: find the maximum highet the cannon ball reaches.

A.  xmax = 131.49 m

B.  t = 8.74 s

C.  ymax = 220.33 m

Explanation:

A. In order to find the horizontal distance which cannon travels you first calculate the flight time. The flight time can be calculated by using the following formula:

     (1)

yo: height from the projectile is fired = 200m

vo: initial velocity of the projectile = 25m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

θ: angle between the direction of the initial motion of the ball and the horizontal = 53°

t: time

You need the value of t when the projectile hits the ground. Then, in th equation (1) you make y = 0m.

When you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1), you obtain the following quadratic formula:

(2)

You use the quadratic formula to obtain the value of t:

You use the positive value because it has physical meaning.

Now, you can calculate the horizontal range of the projectile by using the following formula:

The cannon ball travels a horizontal distance of 131.49 m

B. The cannon ball reaches the canon for t = 8.74s

C. The maximum height is obtained by using the following formula:

    (3)

By replacing in the equation (3) the values of all parameters you obtain:

The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 220.33m

c

explanation:

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
