Part A: Determining the ‘Muzzle Velocity’ of a Cannonball (the speed at which the ball leaves the muzzle of the cannon) Imagine that you fire a cannon horizontally at a height of 1.15m above the ground. You measure the average of 3 shots to travel a distance of 1.35m from the edge of the table. Calculate the initial speed of the cannonball based on this data. Show all work and indicate knowns/unknowns for each part.
Part B: Now imagine that you set the cannon’s angle to 35° above the table (still at the same height). Assuming that the speed that the ball leaves the cannon is still the same as Part A (but the velocity will be different, because it is now angled upward), calculate the distance that the cannonball should travel this time. Again, show all work and draw out any triangles you use to compute x- and y-components of motion.
