Question

A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal.

Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components.

 ( m/s)  + ( m/s) 

At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = ? m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = ? m/s2.

The time needed to reach maximum height is t = ? s.

The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = ? m.
