A cannon ball is shot straight upward with a velocity of 72.50 m/s. How high is the cannon ball above the ground 3.30 seconds after it is fired? (Neglect air resistance.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Cannon is fired with a velocity of [tex]u=72.50\ m/s[/tex]

Using Equation of motion

[tex]y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

where

[tex]y=displacement[/tex]

[tex]u=initial\ velocity[/tex]

[tex]a=acceleration[/tex]

[tex]t=time[/tex]

after time [tex]t=3.3 s[/tex]

[tex]y=72.50\times 3.3-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.3)^2[/tex]

[tex]y=239.25-53.36[/tex]

[tex]y=185.89\ m[/tex]

So after 3.3 s cannon ball is at a height of 185.89 m
