A certain cannon has a maximum horizontal range of 1010m when fired on level ground. In class (and in the textbook), we derived an equation that gives the horizontal range in terms of the muzzle velocity (really, speed) vo, and the firing angle, and discussed conditions for maximum horizontal range on flat ground. (a) Use this equation to find the muzzle velocity of the cannon (b) If instead of flat ground, the cannon is fired from a hill-top at 30

For a projectile lunched with an initial velocity of vo at an angle of 0 (between 0 and 90°), a) derive the general expression for maximum height hmax and the horizontal range R. b) For what value of 0 gives the highest maximum height? Solution The components of vo are expressed as follows: Vinitial-x = Vocos(e) Vinitial-y = vosin(e) a) Let us first find the time it takes for the projectile to reach the maximum height. Using: Vfinal-y = Vinitial-y * ayt since the y-axis velocity of the projectile at the maximum height is Vfinal-y= Then, = Vinitial-y + ayt Substituting the expression of Vịnitial-y and ay = -g, results to the following: Thus, the time to reach the maximum height is tmax-height= We will use this time to the equation Yfinal - Yinitial = Vinitial-yt + (1/2)ayt2 if we use the time reach the maximum height, therefore, the displacement will yield the hum height, so hmax = Vinitial-yt + (1/2)ayt2 substituting, the vinitial-y expression above, results to the following hmax = t+…
