What is the final velocity vector of the ball

Reference no: EM13240995

1. You fire a cannon off the edge of a cliff which is 95.0 m high. The cannon is tilted so that the ball shoots up at a 53.0° angle above the horizontal. You know that the speed of the cannonball when it leaves the cannon is 41.3 m/s.

a) How far will the cannonball go in the x-direction before it lands?

b) What is the final speed of the cannonball when it lands? What angle does the ball's velocity make with respect to the horizon just before it lands?

2. Imagine that the cannon from Problem #1 is actually firing into a strong wind. The instant the ball leaves the cannon it feels an acceleration due to the wind of -5.10 m/s2 (which direction would this be in?). You may use any results from #1 here as long as they are still valid.

a) How far does the ball go now?

b) What is the final velocity vector of the ball when it lands?Does this make sense?Sketch out the trajectory of the ball's motion this time.
