A. A cannonball is shot horizontally at 20 m/s on top of a
50 m cliff. (a) How far horizontally from the cliff does the
cannonball land on the ground? (b) What was the final
velocity of the cannonball before hitting the ground?
В.
A ball is launched from the ground at an angle of 53° above the horizontal at 10 m/s.
The ball returns to the ground. (a) How far did the ball go horizontally? (b) How far
vertically is the peak?
C. A tennis ball is hit with an initial velocity of 25 m/s [10° above the horizontal] starting
from a height of 2.1 m, and lands on the ground. There is a net 1.4 m high. (a) What is the
height above the ground at the peak? (b) If the ball clears the net at its peak, how much will it
be above the net?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4a08783e-730e-4051-91e1-37275e9f3a30%2Fd7018d7a-845d-4149-b3c6-4e8f4fb1c7de%2Fpyk4jv_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
