Answer:

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:

According to the Given Statement

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

Acceleration due to gravity is 10m/

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 .
