Question

A cannon fires a cannonball forward at a velocity of 48.1 m/s horizontally. If the cannon is on a mounted wagon 1.5 m tall, how far would the cannonball travel before it lands on the ground? Show all work.
find the time of flight (t) ... 1.5 = 1/2 g t^2

(travel distance) = (time of flight) * (forward velocity)
