Consider a heavily modified cannon near the surface of the Earth. This cannon is angled upwards at 60 degrees above the horizontal. A: If the modified cannon launches George Washington at 35 m/s and air resistance is neglected, how high above the ground will the first US president reach? B: At 20m from the ground on the way down, George encounters the escaping helicopter. How far has he travelled horizontally from the cannon at this time? C: What is the total velocity of George Washington in both magnitude and direction at the time in part B when George delivers the jump-kick to the pilot of the helicopter? Express your answer as a vector in component form |
