Homework Statement
A cannonball is fired out of a cannon at 45 m/s at an angle theta in the positive x direction 500 meters away from a car moving in the positive x at a constant 20 m/s. At what distance does the cannonball hit the car?
Homework Equations
I am unsure of how I would solve theta.
The Attempt at a Solution
O= theta
I tried to use the range formula: d=V^2/g * sin(2O)
So I plugged in all the numbers and it's impossible to do that. sin(2O)=2.42 which is impossible. Is it impossible to figure this out if just given the Vo?
