Question

SORRY LAST ONE FOR TODAY, IM GOING TO PASS IF I GET THIS ANSWERED

A cannon fires a cannonball directly upwards at +150m/s. How long does it take for the cannonball to reach maximum height?

Answer 1

maximum height reached: 15 s

Step-by-step explanation:

using the formula: maximum height reached = [(sin(θ) * speed)/ gravity]

Here speed is 150m/s and gravity is 10 m/s² and as it does directly upwards, it has an angle of 90°

using the formula:

maximum height reached = [(sin(90) * 150)/ 10] = 15 s

Answer 2

According to the Given Statement

Canon fires directly upwarda at 150m/s ( Initial speed, u )

Acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s²

Since Cannon ball reach it maximum height so its final velocity v will be 0 m/s .

Using Kinematic Equation

• v = u + gt

On substituting the value we get

➥ 0 = 150 + 10 × t

➥ 150 = 10 × t

➥ 150/10 = t

➥ 15 s = t

So, it will take 15 seconds .
