A cannonball is catapulted toward a castle. The can- nonball’s velocity when it leaves the catapult is 40 m/s at an angle of 37° with respect to the horizontal and the cannonball is 7.0 m above the ground at this time. (a) What is the maximum height above the ground reached by the cannonball? (b) Assuming the cannon- ball makes it over the castle walls and lands back down on the ground, at what horizontal distance from its release point will it land? (c) What are the x- and y- components of the cannonball’s velocity just before it lands? The y-axis points up.
