A 25 kg cannonball is released with an initial velocity of 17 m/s out of a 30-degree cannon. Compute its time to reach the top.
Added by Stephen D.
Step 1
The horizontal component of the initial velocity is given by: Vx = V * cos(theta), where V is the initial velocity (17 m/s) and theta is the angle of the cannon (30 degrees). Vx = 17 m/s * cos(30 degrees) = 17 m/s * 0.866 = 14.62 m/s The vertical component of the Show more…
