A 4 kg mortar shell is fired at an angle of 60° above the horizontal with an initial speed of v0. At its highest point its speed is 120 m/s. (a) At this highest point, what is the change in its gravitational potential energy relative to its initial launch position? Neglect air resistance? (b) How far above the launch point did the mortar travel to get to its highest point? Neglect air resistance

A projectile is launched at a speed of 39.1m/s and an angle of 25˚ above the horizontal surface so that it lands on a target 120 m away. Neglect air resistance. The projectile is in the air for 3.4s. Someone constructs a wall between the launch site and the target that is just high enough to block the projectile's path. If the launch speed cannot be changed, at what angle could we launch the projectile to ensure that it still...

A projectile of mass 2.0 kg is fired in the air at an angle of 43.0° to the horizon at a speed of 44.0 m/s. At the highest point in its flight, the projectile breaks into three parts of mass 1.0 kg, 0.7 kg, and 0.3 kg. The 1.0 kg part falls straight down after breakup with an initial speed of 14.8 m/s, the 0.7 kg part moves in the original forward direction, and the 0.3 kg part goes straight...
