A cannon tilted up at a 29o angle fires a cannon ball at 83 m/s from atop a 11-m-high fortress wall. What is the ball's impact speed on the ground below?

Respuesta :

Answer:

v = 84.28 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of a cannon, u = 83 m/s

Angle with which it is fired, [tex]\theta=29^{\circ}[/tex]

It is fired from a top a 11 m high fortress wall.

Let v is the ball's impact speed on the ground below. It can be calculated using the third equation motion.

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\\v^2=2as+u^2\\\\v^2=2\times 9.8\times 11+(83)^2\\\\v=84.28\ m/s[/tex]

So, the ball's impact speed on the ground below is 84.28 m/s.

The ball's impact speed on the ground will be:

84.28 m/s

Equation of motion

According to the question,

Cannon's initial velocity, u = 83 m/s

Angle, θ = 29°

Height, s = 11 m

By using third equation of motion,

→ v² - u² = 2as

or,

→ v² = 2as + u²

By substituting the values, we get

       = 2 × 9.8 × 11 + (83)²

       = 32.78 + 6889

       = 6921.78

    v = √6921.78

       = 84.28 m/s

Thus the above answer is correct.
