I A cannon tilted upward at30° fires a cannonball with a speed of 100m/s. What is the component of the cannonball's velocity parallel to the ground?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Component of the cannon ball's velocity parallel to the ground =vx

=86.6m/s

Step by step solution

01

Step.1

02

Step.2.

Angle made by the cannon ball with the groundθ=30°

Magnitude of velocityv=100m/s

Velocity v→=vxi^+vyj^

=(100m/s)cos30°i^+(100m/s)sin30°j^=(86.6m/s)i^+(50m/s)j^

Component of the cannon ball's velocity parallel to the ground =vx

=86.6m/s
