Chapter 3, Problem 50PE
Unreasonable Results (a) Find the maximum range of a super cannon that has a muzzle velocity of 4.0 km/s. (b) What is unreasonable about the range you found? (c) Is the premise unreasonable or is the available equation inapplicable? Explain your answer. (d) If such a muzzle velocity could be obtained, discuss the effects of air resistance, thinning air with altitude, and the curvature of the Earth on the range of the super cannon.

In a sport feast, a soccer ball is kicked from ground level over level ground with an initial velocity that has a vertical component of 20 m/s and a horizontal component of 30 m/s. Using g = 10 m/s^2, what is the ranged of the soccer ball?
Before an experiment, you calculated the range of a projectile to be 2.55m. When you
performed the experiment, you measured the range of the projectile to be 2.39m. What is
the percent error for the range of the projectile?
