Projectile motion finding displacement
A cannon on a level plain is aimed 50 degrees above the horizontal and a shell is fired with a muzzle velocity of 1000m/s toward a vertical cliff 3214 metre away. How far above the bottom does the shell strike the side wall of the cliff. My answer is 4875m but I don't know if it is right
My tecaher wants us to split things into vertical and horizontal
So for HORIZONTAL I have
Displacement= 3214m
Velocity= 1000m/s * cos50 = 642m
Time= 5s
VERTICAL
Displacement= 4875
Acceleration = 10m/s^2
Initial velocity =1000m/s
Time= 5s
Final Velocity=950m/s
