Question

A projectile of mass 0.46 kg is shot from a cannon, at height 6.8 m, as shown in the figure, with an initial velocity vi having a horizontal component of 7.1m/s.
The projectile rises to a maximum height of ∆y above the end of the cannon’s barrel and strikes the ground a horizontal distance ∆x past the end of the cannon’s barrel.
----Find the vertical component of the initial
velocity at the end of the cannon’s barrel,
where the projectile begins its trajectory. The
acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s
2
.
Answer in units of m/s
----Determine the maximum height the projectile
achieves after leaving the end of the cannon’s
barrel.
Answer in units of m
----Find the magnitude of the velocity vector
when the projectile hits the ground.
Answer in units of m/s
----Find the magnitude of the angle (with respect
to horizontal) the projectile makes when impacting the ground.
Answer in units of ◦
-----Find the range of the projectile from the time it leaves the barrel until it hits the ground.
Answer in units of m

Answer 1

It seems to me that the angle needs to be known. Is that in the diagram?
