I need help on projectile motion questions because i had to miss a whole lesson for some reason and my teacher said to try some of the questions.
Anyways I am stuck on this question.
A cannon is set at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. A cannon ball leaves the muzzle with a speed of 220 m/s. Air resistance is negligible. Determine the cannonball's
a) maximum height
b) time of flight
c) horizontal range (to the same vertical level)
This is what i did. I am not going to do step by step on the part i got.
Before these i started i found VIx which is 155.6 m/s and Viy is the same
a) At max height Vfy=0( i don't get why but i know that's how you do it)
2ad=Vi^2 + Vf^2
d= (155.6)^2/-2(-9.8)
d= 1240m
b)i have no idea how to get this one i hope you can help me.
c)i started but i couldn't finish. This is what i did
d=Vit + 1/2a(t^2)
1240=155.6t - 4.9t^2
4.9t^2 - 155.6t + 1240 = 0
I know i need to do the quadratic formula after this but i get a negative with the radical so i don't know what to do i think i made a mistake somewhere.
Can you please help me?
