Homework Statement
For my lab, I need to calculate the height of the ring stands so the projectile can pass through them; as well as the angle the projectile will come at them.
I have calculated/measured the following things:
Muzzle Velocity: 4.11m/s
Vix= 4.02m/s
Viy= 0.85m/s
Delta Y: 0.87 (since the cannon we are using is being shot off the counter top, it will be -0.87 when calculating)
Delta X: 2.07 meters
t = 0.5153 seconds
ax= 0
ay= -9.8m/s
What is given:
Angle the cannon is shooting at: 12 degrees
I also calculated the time and distance it will take for the projectile to reach each of the ring stands. There are 3 ring stands and they are placed at the same intervals
Homework Equations
I don't know how to find the height I need for the ring stands (3 of them) or the angle the projectile will come at them. At least I am unsure which formula to use.
