You are attacking your enemy’s castle and prepare your catapult to launch a large stone at the castle wall. As your clan’s engineer, it is up to you to calculate the correct distance from the wall to fire your catapult. You know that the projectile will be launched from the catapult 8.2 m above the ground at a velocity of 40 m/s at an angle of 46◦ above the horizontal, and you want to hit the castle wall 3.0 m above the ground, where the projectile will do the most damage. How far from the wall should your catapult be positioned?

Suppose that a shot putter can put a shot at the worldclass speed 15.00 m/s and at a height of 2.160 m.What horizontal distance would the shot travel if the launch angle is (a) 45.00° and (b) 42.00°? The answers indicate that the angle of 45°, which maximizes the range of projectile motion, does not maximize the horizontal distance when the launch and landing are at different heights.
A cannon launches a cannonball from level ground with an initial speed of 80 m/s at an angle of 280 above the horizontal. What horizontal distance does the cannonball travel when the cannonball returns to the ground? Given the same initial velocity of launch, at what other angle above the ground can the cannonball be fired and achieve the same horizontal range as before? (Assume that g = 9.81 m/s2.) a. Range = 540 m, and angle = 420 above the horizontal b. Range = 600 m, and angle = 620 above the horizontal c. Range = 270 m, and angle = 620 above the horizontal d. Range = 540 m, and angle = 620 above the horizontal e. Range = 270 m, angle = 420 above the horizontal
