Given a cannonball of mass 5 kg launched from a 3.00 m height above the ground with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s and an angle of 40°. Use this in the following calculations. Projectile motion treats motion along x separately from motion along y. So we need to take the initial velocity vector and break it up into x and y components. A) Calculate vix. B) Calculate viy.

A projectile has an initial velocity of 17.0 m/s at an angle of 65.0 degrees relative to the horizontal. Enter the magnitude and direction of the projectile's velocity 2.50 s after it is launched into the spaces provided below. Round these values to 1 decimal place. Its velocity is m/s at an angle of degrees relative to the horizontal. A projectile is launch from ground level at an angle of 40.3 degrees relative to the horizontal. It returns back to the ground after a time of 3.00 s. What was the initial speed of the projectile?

A cannon sends a projectile towards a target a distance 1470 m away. The initial velocity makes an angle 39° with the horizontal. The target is hit. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². What is the magnitude of the initial velocity? Answer in units of m/s. How high is the highest point of the trajectory? Answer in units of m. How long does it take for the projectile to reach the target? (Assume no friction) Answer in units of s.
