Question

A cannon ball is launched horizontally from a cannon. The cannon is on the edge of a 50 m tall cliff. What is the acceleration of the cannon ball horizontally?

a 0

b Not enough information

c 50 m/s2

d 9. 8 m/s2

Answer 1

a

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no acceleration horizontally (since we are ignoring air friction) ....after the ball is fired it will maintain a constant 50 m/s horizontal velocity

It WILL experience a VERTICAL acceleration due to gravity ( 9.81 m/s^2)
