A cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 50 m/s. At a launch angle of 40 toward a castle wall 220 m away. The height of the wall is 30 m. Assume there is no air resistance. (For this problem, use g= 9.8 m/s) a. Create a drawing that represents the initial total velocity, the x-component of initial velocity, and the y-component of the initial velocity. b. Show that the cannonball has enough range to strike the wall? c. How long will it take the cannonball to strike the wall? d. At what height above the base of the wall will the cannonball strike?
