Imagine a cannonball being launched from a cannon atop a very high cliff. Imagine as well that the cannonball does not encounter a significant amount of air resistance. What will be the path of the cannonball and how can the motion of the cannonball be described? The position of the cannonball in three successive time elapses are shown in the pictures below: Guide Questions: 1. What do you notice with the horizontal component of the cannonball's velocity after 1.0 s, 6.0 s, and 10.0 s from being launched? 2. What about the vertical component of the cannonball's velocity, can you notice what happens to the magnitude of this during the time elapses of 1.0 s, 6.0 s, and 10.0 s? t= 1.0s =100 m/s Vy= 10 m/s t = 6,0s V=100 m/s Vy= 60 m/s t= 10.0s -100 m/s y=100 m/s 3. Can you fill-out the following table with the possible magnitude of the vertical component of the cannonball's velocity? Time Elapsed, (s) 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0 Vertical Velocity, Vy (m/s) 10 60 100 Imagine a cannonball being launched from a cannon atop a very high cliff.
