Question:

Suppose that an artillery projectile is fired from ground level with initial velocity 3000 ft/s and initial inclination angle 40°. Assume that its air resistance deceleration is (0.0001)v2.

(a) What is the range of the projectile and what is its total time of flight? What is its speed at impact with the ground?

(b) What is the maximum altitude of the projectile, and when is that altitude attained?

(c) You will find that the projectile is still losing speed at the apex of its trajectory. What is the minimum speed that it attains during its descent?
