question 16

Multiple Choice

A projectile passes overhead, and you attempt to shoot it down with a cannon. When it passes overhead it is traveling horizontally at 100 m/s at an elevation of 1000 m. Your cannon launches shells at 200 m/s, and in this instance you fire just as the projectile passes overhead and at an angle of 60^o. In this scenario the horizontal velocities of the two projectiles are the same. At what elevation will the cannon shell and the other projectile collide?

• A) They won't collide before the cannon shell hits the ground.
• B) 971.7 m
• C) 877.5 m
