A cannon shoots a projectile at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal with an initial speed of 30.0 ms. Calculate the maximum height of the projectile and its range?

vx = 30.0 * cos 60 = 15.0 m/s
vy = 30.0 * sin 60 = 25.9 m/s
ax = -9.81 m/s/s; ay = 0 m/s/s
At the maximum height, vf = 0 m/s
0 = 25.92 - 19.62dy
dy = 34.1 m
Range I don't know

How do you calculate forging reduction ratio?
reduction ratio= initial cross sectional area/final cross sectional area
What is a component form?
The component form of a vector lists the horizontal and vertical change from the initial point to the terminal point. * * * * * The axes need not be perpendicular to one another. They just need to be non-parallel.
A steel rod has a length of exactly 0.2 cm at 30 C What will be its length at 60 C?
The initial length is 0.2 cm Initial temperature is 30 degrees C and final temperature is 60 degrees C. he difference in temperature is 30 degrees. Let "e" be the linear coefficient of expansion of the steel rod in cm per degree C (you can find this from the specifications for the particular steel), then the expansion is 0.2 x e x 30 cm To find the total new length we have to add the original length which is 0.2 cm Hence new length is 0.2 + (0.2 x e x 30) cm And that is (0.2) x (1 + e x 30) cm
A man finds the angle of elevation of the top of a tower to be 30 degrees He walks 85 meter nearer the tower and finds its angle of elevation to be 60 degrees What is the height of the tower?
L/(L-85) = tan60/tan30 = 3 (L = initial distance of man from base of tower)L = 3L-255 so 2L = 255 and L = 127.5 giving height = 127.5 tan30 = 73.6 m
What is the initial line of polar coordinates?
The equivalent of the x-axis
A projectile is thrown with an initial velocity which has a horizontal component of 4 m s What will be its horizontal speed after 3s?
A projectile that is thrown with an initial velocity,that has a horizontal component of 4 m/s, its horizontal speed after 3s will still be 4m/s.
Which information is needed to determine the horizontal distance a projectile travels?
-- the initial horizontal speed of the projectile -- the time it remains in flight before it hits the ground
How does a projectille differ from an object in a free fall?
A projectile has an initial forward velocity.
How do you calculate range of projectile from ground at A degrees if you know its range is 200 meters if its launched from height of 2 meters at A degrees?
You cannot. You need to know either the initial speed or angle of projection (A).
How is the horizontal component of velocity for a projectile affected by the vertical component?
The horizontal component of velocity for a projectile is not affected by the vertical component at all. Horizontal component is measured as xcos(theta) Vertical component is measured as xsin(theta) Whereas theta is the angle, and x is the magnitude, or initial speed.
What is the value of constant horizontal velocity?
In projectile motion, since , there's no force in the horizontal direction which can change the horizontal motion therefore the horizotal velocity remains conserved Vx=Vox= Vocos theta by using above formula , constant horizontal initial or final velocity can be found. since Initial = final horizontal velocity.
What do you you need to know to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?
initial velocity, angle of launch, height above ground When a projectile is launched you can calculate how far it travels horizontally if you know the height above ground it was launched from, initial velocity and the angle it was launched at. 1) Determine how long it will be in the air based on how far it has to fall (this is why you need the height above ground). 2) Use your initial velocity to determine the horizontal component of velocity 3) distance travelled horizontally = time in air (part 1) x horizontal velocity (part 2)

Is initial velocity y the same for an angled launch and a horizontal launch if you use the same projectile launcher?
Yes. They will both initially be moving at the same speed.
How does projectile differ from an object in free fall?
A projectile has an initial forward velocity.
How does a projectile differ from an object free fall?
A projectile has an initial forward velocity.
What is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile as its position changes?
In the usual simple treatment of projectile motion, the horizontal component of the projectile's velocity is assumed to be constant, and is equal to the magnitude of the initial (launch) velocity multiplied by the cosine of the elevation angle at the time of launch.
