A cannonball was launched at the speed of 175 m/s into the air at an angle of 60° above the ground. As it reaches maximum height, a wind with air current speed of 300 m/s sent the ball perpendicularly off- course. 1. What is the maximum height? 2. What is the cannonball's speed as it was knocked off-course (with respect to the air current)? 3. What is the cannonball' s resultant at coordinates (x, z) ?

A cannonball was launched at the speed of 175 m/s
into the air at an angle of 60° above the ground. As it
reaches maximum height, a wind with air current
speed of 300 m/s sent the ball perpendicularly off-
course.
1. What is the maximum height?
2. What is the cannonball's speed as it was
knocked off-course (with respect to the air
current)?
3. What is
the cannonball' s
resultant at
coordinates (x, z) ?
