A cannonball is launched from the top of a flat mountainside, which slopes upwards at 35 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The cannonball exits the cannon moving at 150 m/s, at an angle of 55 degrees with respect to the horizontal. a) How much time (in seconds) elapses between the moment the cannonball is fired and the moment it lands on the mountainside. b) How far down the mountainside (in meters) does the cannonball land?
