At time t = 0, an anti-aircraft cannon located at (0, 0) fires a shell at a speed 800 m/s. At the same moment, an aircraft is at coordinate (1000, 3000) and flying in the −x direction with a constant velocity 300 m/s. Determine at what angle(s) with respect to the +x axis the cannon must fire so that the shell can hit the aircraft and determine at what location the aircraft will be hit.

A restored Civil War cannon is being tested using cannonballs of various mass and using various loads of gunpowder. In one test, the cannon fires a cannonball at a speed of 74.0  m/s in a direction which is 51.0  degrees Up from East. The cannonball is intended to land on a mesa which is to the east of the cannon. The near edge of the mesa is a vertical cliff which is 103.0  m high; the base of the cliff is 127.0  m to...

Far out in space, a bored astronaut fires an antique gun at a sack of rocks (mass M). The bullet (mass m) bounces around inside the sack a few times, eventually emerging with a reduced, but still high, speed. As the bullet flies off into space, the astronaut remembers with dismay that it was a priceless historical artifact. Fortunately, the astronaut knows the initial speed v0 of the bullet, and that the sack was initially at rest but after being...

A battleship fires two artillery shells at nearby enemy ships from the same gun, as shown in the picture below. Both artillery shells follow a symmetric trajectory, such that air resistance can be ignored, each with an initial velocity magnitude of V0 . The ship’s deck, upon which the guns are located, is h1 meters above sea level. (a) The battleship’s gun initially targets ship B . Upon being fired, the artillery shell barely clears the brown mountain, at its...
