Q. How far will the cannonball land?
Given the initial speed of the cannonball and the angle at which it was shot, can you determine how far it will travel? So there you have it — now you can figure out the range of the cannon given the speed of the cannonball and the angle at which it was shot. Your range is 75 kilometers, or nearly 47 miles.

Q. How far away does the cannonball land?
A cannon is fired towards the edge of a cliff. It is found that if the cannon is fired at exactly 38 degrees above horizontal then the cannonball will just barely touch the edge of the cliff, which is 313 meters away.
Q. How far will the football travel before it lands Round your answer to the nearest tenth?
How far will the football travel before it lands? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Lacie kicks a football from ground level at a velocity of 13.9 m/s and at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. You have determined that the football would travel 15.1 m before landing.
Q. How do you predict where a projectile will land?
This can be determined by launching the ball horizontally off the table and measuring the vertical and horizontal distances through which the ball travels. Then the initial velocity can be used to calculate where the ball will land when the ball is shot at an angle.
Q. How do you calculate how far an object will travel?
The distance travelled is the path taken by a body to get from an initial point to an end point in a given period of time, at a certain velocity. If the velocity is constant: Distance = time * velocity. d = v*t.
Q. How do you determine how long a projectile is in the air?
To define the time of flight equation, we should split the formulas into two cases:
- Launching projectile from the ground (initial height = 0)
- t = 2 * V₀ * sin(α) / g.
- Launching projectile from some height (so initial height > 0)
- t = [V₀ * sin(α) + √((V₀ * sin(α))² + 2 * g * h)] / g.
Q. Why do you need a reference point to see if an object is moving?
A reference point is important in determining motion because in order to say that something is moving, you need to have something stationary to compare it to. You can then define the velocity of a particle as the rate of change of the displacement of the particle from the reference point.
