a cannon is used to provide the initial launch of a 400,000 kg rocket at an angle of 40° from the horizontal. if the rocket leaves the barrel of the cannon 10 meters from the ground at a velocity of 800 m/s, what is the peak height (y value) reached of the rocket, how far has the rocket traveled (x value) and how long will it take to reach the peak height?
