- a cannonball is fired horizontally with an initial velocity of 65 m/s off a 25 m high cliff. assume there is no air resistance, how far from the cliff will the cannon ball land? include a diagram. 5 marks - t
- convert the following position - time graph into a velocity time graph 4 marks - c
10.
Step1: Analyze option a
A soccer - kick at an angle has an initial y - velocity component $v_{0y}=v_0\sin\theta$. Since $\theta = 15^{\circ}$, $v_{0y}
eq0$, so a is false.
Step2: Analyze option b
The acceleration during projectile motion is due to gravity $g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$ (downward) and it does not change direction during the motion. So b is false.
Step3: Analyze option c
In the absence of air - resistance, there is no acceleration in the x - direction ($a_x = 0$) for projectile motion. So c is false.
Step4: Analyze option d
When the ball lands on the ground, the displacement in the y - direction is zero (assuming the starting and ending y - positions are the same). So d is false.
Step1: Analyze the vertical motion
The vertical displacement of the cannon - ball is given by $y = y_0+v_{0y}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$. Here, $y_0 = 25\ m$, $v_{0y}=0\ m/s$, and $y = 0\ m$. So, $0 = 25+0\times t-\frac{1}{2}\times9.8t^{2}$.
Step2: Solve for time t
Rearranging the equation $4.9t^{2}=25$, we get $t=\sqrt{\frac{25}{4.9}}\approx2.26\ s$.
Step3: Analyze the horizontal motion
In the horizontal direction, $x = v_{0x}t$. Given $v_{0x}=65\ m/s$ and $t = 2.26\ s$, then $x=65\times2.26 = 146.9\ m$.
