Question
To start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 51.0° above the
horizontal. It explodes on the mountainside 35.0 s after firing. What are the x and y coordinates of the shell where it
explodes, relative to its firing point?
x = 6.388*10**3
y = 6.22*10**3
m
Use the constant acceleration equations separately for the x components and for the y components of the motion. m
